Visit the archaeological site of Olympia, home to the ancient Olympics and the Temple of Zeus, a testament to Greece’s rich history. Walk among the ruins, admire the iconic stadium, and explore the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic flame is lit for the modern Games.

Isthmus of Corinth
  • 20m
The Corinth Canal is one of Greece’s most striking engineering marvels, a narrow waterway carved through sheer rock that links the Aegean Sea with the Ionian. Standing on the bridge above the canal, you can admire its dramatic, almost vertical walls rising over 70 meters, creating a breathtaking sight that feels both natural and monumental. Opened in the late 19th century, the canal transformed maritime travel, offering ships a faster and safer route. Today it remains a popular attraction, with visitors watching boats glide through the turquoise passage or even trying bungee jumping from its towering bridges. The Corinth Canal is a place where human ingenuity meets raw geological beauty—a must-see landmark for any traveler.
