Explore the heart of classical Athens on a guided driving and walking tour that transports you back to ancient Greece. Experience the ruins of the Acropolis, climbing the steep steps through the Propylaea, its monumental gateway, and visiting the spectacular remains of an ancient Greek civilization. See the Parthenon, an immense structure of incredible architectural sophistication, the sacred site of Erectheum, and the graceful Porch of the Caryatids. After a traditional buffet luncheon and a driving tour past the major sights of Athens, travel north to Corinth, with a photo opportunity at the Corinth Canal. Once the wealthiest city in Greece, ancient Corinth was home to a forum that rivaled Rome's. Walk the famed Lechaion Road and view the Doric Temple of Apollo. Peruse the impressive collection of antiquities and mosaics in the Corinth Museum and shop at a local store for personal souvenirs.
