Itinerary
The Swimming with the Gods tour in Heraion of Corinth is a great opportunity to combine the magnificent landscape of the Saronic Gulf and a hidden treasure, the archaeological sites of Hera in Perachora, Corinth along with some swimming either next to the ancient ruins or at the nearby lake.

The tour begins with a drive along a coastal road. During the ride, you will see some Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis (where the historical naval battle took place between the Athenians and the Persians).

Our first stop is the Heraion Sanctuary, the entrance of which is free of charge. The archaeological site can be divided by an imaginary line to the upper site (on the hillside) and the lower site (by the sea). The chapel of Agios Ioannis is located between the two. In addition to a temple of Hera of unusual construction and antiquity, the remains of a number of other structures such as a cistern, a dining room, an altar have also been found. The ruins of the ancient sanctuary are all around and go further down to the sea.

Next we will visit the Lake of Perachora. The lake is surrounded by natural pine forest and is considered to be one of the most beautiful lagoons in Greece. With its waters much saltier than the open sea, they are considered particularly warm and allow swimming until late in the autumn. On the perimeter of the lake you can either find some taverns for food and coffee or relax and swim.

Next we will visit the town of Loutraki. Today is a living town where you can have lunch or enjoy swimming, along the inviting four kilometres of beaches, stretching from one end of the town to the other. Since 1987 Loutraki has been awarded with the blue flag for clean seas and beaches.

After lunch we will drive to the west end of Corinth Canal at Poseidonia to see the traces of the Diolkos that was a miracle of mechanics back in the 6th century B.C.

Our last stop the bridge of incredible Corinth Canal. A task since the antiquity, opened in 1892 separating the Peloponnese peninsula from the rest of Greece and connecting the Saronic Gulf with the Corinthian Sea. You will have the pleasure of walking across on a pedestrian bridge to admire the canal closer, for the adventurous on some days bungee jumping, is an option.
