CORINTH CANAL, HERAION SANCTUARY
(FULL DAY)
OVERVIEW
The excursion brings you to the North side of the Gulf of Corinth, to a unique site the sanctuary of Heraion, dedicated to goddess Hera. Here you will discover a wonderful corner of nature and an ancient history page. On the way you will admire the view of the Corinth canal and have a cruise through it.
We conclude with a lunch in the town of Loutraki, a modern summer resort.
We start in the morning and we finish visits to the archaeological places about noon, thus leaving enough time for a lunch to relax before returning to Athens. Prior to the excursion you will have a short brief in our office about the places to see. An escort from Elysium Travel will accompany you throughout the visit, and offer you any assistance you may require.
