During Apostle Paul’s visit, it was also a renowned spot for intellectual debate and discussion.

   Travel to the impressive Corinth Canal, an engineering marve

   Travel to the impressive Corinth Canal, an engineering marvel that slices through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. This canal separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece, effectively turning the peninsula into an island. Though built long after biblical times, the canal highlights the strategic importance of this region.

   Continue to the site of ancient Kechrees, Corinth’s eastern

   Continue to the site of ancient Kechrees, Corinth’s eastern port and a vital hub of trade and travel, especially during the Roman era. Though much of the port lies submerged or in ruins, remnants of Roman engineering are still visible—storerooms, breakwaters, a nymphaeum, sanctuaries, and an early Christian basilica from the 4th century A.D. This is also the very place where the Apostle Paul arrived in 51 A.D., beginning his mission in Corinth. The blend of commercial, religious, and historical layers here paints a vivid picture of a once-thriving harbor town.

   Step into the heart of Ancient Corinth, one of the most powerful and prosperous cities of the classical world. For Christian visitors, this site holds special meaning: at the Bema, a raised platform in the center of the city, Paul is believed to have addressed the local community and stood trial before the Roman proconsul. Nearby, the Agora—the bustling marketplace—evokes the everyday life of the Corinthians Paul wrote to. Amid the ruins, the impressive Temple of Apollo stands as a reminder of the city’s long and complex religious history.

   End your tour at Acrocorinth, the imposing acropolis that guarded ancient Corinth through centuries of history. This fortified hilltop was not only a military stronghold but also a religious center, home to the famous Temple of Aphrodite, which was said to have housed up to 1,000 priestesses. As you explore the ruins and take in panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, reflect on the rich blend of faith, power, and culture that shaped the region throughout the ages.
