Your adventure begins with a stop at the 2Corinth Canal, an impressive engineering marvel that connects the Aegean and Ionian Seas. While not from Paul's time, this narrow waterway symbolizes the strategic significance of Corinth as a thriving trade hub in antiquity.

Next, visit 3Ancient Corinth, where Paul spent over 18 months spreading the Gospel. Walk through the ruins of the Agora, where he debated with philosophers, and stand before the Bema, the very platform where he was brought before Gallio, the Roman proconsul, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles.

Continue to 4Acrocorinth, the imposing fortress overlooking the city. Once a place of worship and defense, it offers breathtaking views of the Corinthian Gulf and a deeper understanding of the region’s historical and religious significance.

A highlight of your journey is the 5Apostle Paul Church, a modern tribute to Paul’s legacy in Corinth, where his teachings are still honored today.

Finally, visit the 6Ancient Harbor of Kechreae, the port from which Paul set sail to Ephesus, marking another chapter in his mission. Reflect on his journey as you stand by the tranquil waters where history and faith intertwine.

Conclude your day with a comfortable ride back to Athens, enriched by the profound spiritual and historical significance of Corinth in Apostle Paul’s life.

Summer Essentials

In the summer months, the sun is especially strong (even on cloudy days) so we recommend that you wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself. Also, be sure to drink enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated.

Local Currency

We recommend you always keep local currency on you (euro) as many local merchants do not accept cards as payment.

Comfortable Clothes & Shoes

We recommend that you wear comfortable clothing and good walking shoes since certain areas, may have uneven or rocky ground.
