Depart Athens early in the morning. Enjoy the scenic coastal route as your professional driver takes you to the fascinating Corinth Canal and the historic city of Corinth.

Corinth Canal

After a scenic hour-long drive, you will arrive at the renowned Corinth Canal. This impressive man-made waterway is a crucial strategic site in both Greece and the Mediterranean, serving as the link between the mainland of Greece and the Peloponnese Peninsula.

Spanning 6.5 kilometers, the Corinth Canal was built at the narrowest point of the Isthmus. As you stop to admire the incredible views, don’t forget to snap some photos before continuing your journey to the ancient city of Corinth.

Ancient Corinth

Visit the ruins of the church established by St Paul in Ancient Corinth, as well as the church he also established in the nearby town.

After spending approximately two years in Corinth, the Apostle Paul departed for Ephesus (Acts 18:18), leaving behind a thriving church. However, this church faced numerous challenges due to its cultural surroundings. In his efforts to address these issues, Paul wrote at least three to four letters and later revisited Corinth during his third missionary journey, preaching once again in the area.

One significant event during his time in Corinth was his trial before Gallio, which took place in the agora (Acts 18:12-17). It was also from Corinth that Paul wrote to the Thessalonians.

As you explore ancient Corinth, be sure to visit the Archaeological Museum, where you can view remarkable artifacts and sculptures. Don’t miss a tour of the ancient agora, where Paul spent a full day preaching the word of God. A visit to these sites will be a valuable and enlightening experience. Once you’ve explored the ancient ruins of Corinth, take in the stunning Church of St. Paul!

Acrocorinth, the Acropolis of Corinth

The ancient city-state of Corinth held immense significance in its time, with its primary hub situated beneath the formidable Acrocorinth fortress. This strategic location allowed its inhabitants to control the bustling trade between Italy and Greece, as ships passed by.

After experiencing the captivating tour of the Acropolis of Corinth, we will continue our journey back to Athens dropping you off at the same place we have picked you up!
