Start your unique experience by being picked up by your private driver and being transported in comfort on a modern vehicle. On your way to Corinth, you will stop and admire the imposing Corinth Canal before continuing to your second stop.

Once you reach your destination, your experience will start with by walking tour through the olive grove.
