Departure
From your accommodation in Athens
Immerse yourself in a captivating full-day private journey from Athens that perfectly blends ancient mythology, monumental engineering, and coastal relaxation. This private excursion takes you west across the Saronic Gulf into Corinthia, exploring the legendary Corinth Canal, the thermal spa town of Loutraki, and the dramatic clifftop sanctuary of Heraion overlooking Lake Vouliagmeni (Iraion lagoon).
Your journey begins at the world-famous Isthmus of Corinth, where you will marvel at the steep limestone walls of the Corinth Canal—a breathtaking 19th-century engineering triumph slicing through solid rock to link the Saronic and Corinthian gulfs. Continuing along the coastline, we visit Loutraki, Greece’s historic thermal spa resort celebrated for its natural mineral waters, seaside promenade, and vibrant café culture.
• Sanctuary of Hera & Hidden Lagoon: At the edge of the Corinthian Gulf lies the Heraion of Perachora, an ancient 6th-century BC sanctuary dedicated to the goddess Hera, situated next to a serene saltwater lagoon ideal for photos and a refreshing swim.
