Another early morning start. After arriving in Athens, we left for the Peloponnese. Our first stop was breakfast at the Isthmus where we saw the Corinth Canal separating Attica from the Peloponnese. This was followed by the ancient city of Corinth, whose Roman remains we still see today as well as an early Temple to Apollo.
