Private Day Trip to Corinth Canal, Sparta and Mystras

Chris was great, he took us to interesting places and told us about them. This was a very enjoyable trip!

A Ohio Erie Towpath Ride North

This past month (October 2024), I met a long-time friend North from St. Clairsville Ohio at the Trailhead near Ernie's' Bike Shop north of Massillon Ohio.

We had planned to travel to Peninsula Ohio on our E-Bikes North and stop at several of the historical Towpath Locks on the Towpath Trail.

However once we arrived at Canal Fulton Ohio on the trail, we decided to stop and tour this little 'quaint town' and its noticeable historical sites.

This little town is worth the time to stop and tour. If you are visiting there, take time to stop at the Sisters Century House Restaurant. Great menu and great desserts.

The small shops and many sidewalks provide a pleasing way to spend an afternoon in Canal Fulton. We visited a nice bike shop, had a great lunch and visited the historical towboat/flatboat display on the Towpath route.

I plan on visiting this area again soon in warmer weather.

ps - ha, we didn't make it to Peninsula this time ... we had too much to see and do at Canal Fulton :)

Yannis was a great guide. Picked us up promptly at our hotel. Was professional, kind and informative. You could tell he enjoyed his job. When we got to the Corinth Canel, he showed us a place which told about how the Corinth Canal came about.

On to the town of Sparta. We happened to be there when the Spartathon was happening and 2 people crossed the finish line. What a treat to see them both crowned with olive branch wreaths. On to Mystras to see the city palace and churches. He showed us a statue of the Byzantine Emperor. So much history. On the way back, we stopped for lunch. The Mousaka was delicious! A great day overall!

23.04.24: This was realistically the only way to get to Mistras from Athens without hiring a car and braving the Athens traffic. Our driver, Anistes, was excellent - good company, safe and sensible driving and we felt in very good hands all day. We had a quick stop to see the Corinth Canal over 3 hours at Mistras followed by a really nice reasonable lunch at family restaurant. Mistras was excellent and lived up to our expectations - all in all an excellent day.

We booked transfers to and from the airport through here, as well as the private tour. We added Ancient Corinth to our trip and the added price was incredibly reasonable. The views were second to none. All of our drivers seemed like old friends that we’d known forever, instead of strangers. Every driver we had was incredibly knowledgeable and made the drive infinitely better. A huge thank you to Dionisis for making everything stress free and seamless! Your drivers are top tier and all the vehicles we rode in were immaculate.

Dealing with them always great and very professional. I always use them when me or my family goes to greece which is every year . The level of knowledge and professionalism is unmatched.

We have been using Athens Limo Tours-Service for close to 18 years. Dionisis (Dennis) is incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He has a great team of drivers and the vans and cars are new or like new and impeccably cleaned and maintained. This Summer of 2021 we were in Greece and he provided all our airport transfers and organized our trip to the Westin Resort in Costa Navarino. We left Athens early and along the way we stopped at the Corinth Canal and a winery in Nemea that he had recommended. It was a fantastic day trip and a great way to get out of Athens and see the Greek countryside. You dont have to go to an island to see the beauty of Greece. I have used his company every time I am in Greece (at least 10 times) and he and his team have driven us on tours, airport transfers and sight seeing. I would recommend Dennis to everyone, business people, couples and families, for whatever trip you are planning in Greece. He can make great recommendations and organize exclusive touring experiences as well.
