Our first stop is at the impressive Corinth canal as your driver describes its many interesting ill-fated and varied History’s from Ancient times to the present.The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for many modern ships. From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth's isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal

Although known as the ghost city most of the monasteries are still in use and the monks will gladly show you around their small society. Before you exit you will come across the chapel of St. Demetrios, on its floor survives a plaque depicting a two head eagle the symbol of Byzantium. It was on this very plaque that Konstantine Palaiologos kneeled before he was crowned the last emperor of the Byzantium.

Acropolis and Ancient Theater
The Ancient Theater of Sparta is located at the southwest side of the Acropolis hill, under the Sanctuary of Athena, and is the most impressive monument of the archaeological site of Sparta. The first phase of its construction dates back to the late Hellenistic Period (5th century B.C.) but it was reconstructed during the Roman period (1st-4th century A.D.) Despite the numerous transformations it preserves the form taken under the reign of the Emperor Augustus (1st century A.D.). Like many ancient theaters, it has northern orientation to keep the sun off the spectators. It is one of the largest theatres of Ancient Greece, its external diameter is 140 meters long and its total width reaches 114 meters. It had 48 rows of seats providing a total capacity of 16.000. The theater initially hosted public events, ceremonies and games.
