Itinerary
1
Corinth Canal
The tour starts with a 45-mile drive on the National Highway towards Peloponnese.
On our way, we reach the well-known Corinthian canal or else Isthmus canal that connects the Saronic and the Corinthian Sea.
After a short stop for pictures, we will continue with a ten-minute drive through orange and lemon tree fields arriving at the remains of the ancient port of Kechries - one of the two ports of Corinth, serving the eastern trade routes via the Saronic Gulf.
1 hour
2
Ancient Port of Kenchreai
Corinth was a bustling, wealthy city known for its commercial prosperity and moral decadence, located strategically on the Isthmus connecting mainland Greece with the Peloponnese.
The port was likely a starting point for Paul when he left Corinth on his third missionary journey heading towards Ephesus (Acts 18:18).
25 minutes
3
Apostolos Pavlos Church
From there, we will head to the village of Examilia, about a 10-minute drive, following the route Apostle Paul traveled on foot during his time in Corinth.
We will then stop at the small nearby Church of Apostle Paul in Ancient Corinth, before heading to the ancient Corinth archaeological site.
35 minutes
4
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
There you will see the Bema (step), which is in the ancient agora of Corinth, from where Apostle Paul conveyed the faith to Jesus to the ancient city in the most emphatic of ways.
Paul stayed in Corinth for approximately 18 months during his second missionary journey, around 50–52 AD (Acts 18:1-18). To support himself financially, Paul worked as a tentmaker alongside his ministry (Acts 18:3), a trade he learned earlier.
His letters to the Corinthians are among the earliest Christian writings, offering insight into the early church’s life and theology. His famous 1st Epistle to the Corinthians is a text that still inspires people and is among the most beautiful texts of Christianity.
40 minutes
5
Archaeological Museum of Corinth
Since you will already be inside the archaeological site, you may also wish to visit the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth, which, although it does not contain artifacts directly related to Paul, houses an extensive collection of finds from the surrounding region.
50 minutes
6
Temple of Apollo
Within the site, you can also see the Temple of Apollo, dedicated to the god of oracles and the sun. Built around 560 B.C.E., it is one of the earliest Doric temples on the Greek mainland. Nearby stand the remains of the Roman baths, a substantial bathing complex from the Roman period.
40 minutes
7
Apostolos Pavlos Church
Our final stop will be at the Metropolitan Church of Apostle Paul in modern Corinth, the city’s impressive cathedral dedicated to its patron saint. The church was built in the 1930s on the site of an older church that was destroyed in the devastating earthquake of 1928.
At the end of the tour, you will enjoy lunch at a traditional Greek restaurant in Corinth, where you can savor authentic Greek cuisine with its unique Mediterranean flavors.
1 hour
8
Athens
Concluding our tour, we drive back to Athens via the National Highway (45-mile drive)
