4. Corinth Canal
The Corinth Canal is a waterway that crosses the narrow isthmus of Corinth to link the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf. As such, the canal separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, turning it into an island The canal, though executed in the late 19th century, has been a 2000-year-old dream. Before its construction, ships in the Aegean Sea that wanted to cross to the Adriatic or anchor in Corinth, a rich shipping city, had to circle the Peloponnese, which would prolong their journey an extra 185 nautical miles. It is believed that Periander, the tyrant of Corinth (602 BC), was the first to conceive of the idea of digging the Corinth Canal. As the project was too complicated given the limited technical capabilities of the times, Periander constructed the diolkos, a stone road which allowed ships to be transferred on wheeled platforms.
5. Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
tour of the ancient Corinth archaeological site Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. For Christians, Corinth is well known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul the Apostle's missionary travels. In addition, the second book of Pausanias' Description of Greece is devoted to Corinth. Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans demolished Corinth in 146 BC, built a new city in its place in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece.
6. The Diolkos
The Diolkos was a paved trackway near Corinth in Ancient Greece which enabled boats to be moved overland across the Isthmus of Corinth. The shortcut allowed ancient vessels to avoid the long and dangerous circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula. The phrase "as fast as a Corinthian", penned by the comic playwright Aristophanes, indicates that the trackway was common knowledge and had acquired a reputation for swiftness. The main function of the Diolkos was the transfer of goods, although in times of war it also became a preferred means of speeding up naval campaigns. The 6 km (3.7 mi) to 8.5 km (5.3 mi) long roadway was a rudimentary form of railway, and operated from c. 600 BC until the middle of the 1st century AD. The Diolkos combined the two principles of the railway and the overland transport of ships, on a scale that remained unique in antiquity.

This church is widely known both from the Book of Acts and from the two "To Corinthians" letters of the apostle.
11. Archaia Korinthos
During Paul‘s stay in Corinth, he was brought for judgment before the proconsul Lucius Junius Gallio Annaeanus, also known as Gallio, on the accusation of conducting illegal teachings. Gallio, however, refused to judge what he considered to be a mere religious dispute among the Jews. According to tradition, the site of Paul s trial was the Bema, a large elevated rostrum standing prominently in the centre of the Roman Forum of ancient Corinth and from where the city’s officials addressed the public. Probably because of the monument’s connection to Saint Paul, the Bema was transformed into a Christian church during the Byzantine period.
12. Kechries
Kechries is a village in the municipality of Corinth in Corinthia in Greece, part of the community of Xylokeriza. It takes its name from the ancient port town Kenchreai or Cenchreae (as mentioned in the Bible), which was situated at the same location. Christianity also arrived at Kenchreai early in the religion's history. According to Acts 18:18, the Apostle Paul stopped at Kenchreai during his second missionary journey, where he had his hair cut to fulfil a vow, probably a Nazirite vow. Paul mentions the place and a woman named Phoebe in the local assembly in his epistle to the Romans “And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.” In Acts 18

This excellent tour was an emotionally and spiritually moving experience! In particular, seeing the remains of where St. Paul established his first Church in Corinth was amazing.

Our tour guide, Andreas, was exceptional! he arrived early and was very accommodating, even adjusted our itinerary to meet our needs and preferences. His knowledge of Saint Paul and Saint Paul’s missions to establish the early church were unsurpassed!

He shared detailed insights into what Paul accomplished and the hardships he endured in establishing the church in Corinth, bringing the story of Saint Paul’s missionary work to life. If you are a Christian and traveling in the Athens area, this tour is an absolute must!

My family and I (a group of 6 total) thoroughly enjoyed the private tour with our tour guide Michael! Michael was very professional, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about St. Paul, Corinth, and the Peloponnese region. We saw several sites, churches, and more bringing St. Paul’s journey to life. We learned so much from Michael and how Corinthians lived and got to see some incredible temples and structures. Every site was breathtaking even the beach that St. Paul baptized one of the first Corinthians. We ended the day with several options for lunch. Michael’s recommendation was spot on - great Greek food and wine. Also, Michael made the drive from Athens to Corinth so smooth and truly connected with each of us. We felt like family by the end of the day. If you’re considering doing this tour, book it now! It’s the perfect day trip from Athens and offers you something slightly different from what you will find in Athens or any of the Greek islands. Definitely an option that rounds out one’s trip! Book it and be sure to ask for Michael!

If you are a fellow believer and want to know more about the Apostle Paul and his work throughout Corinth, you have to take this tour. Andreas, our EXCELLENT, very knowledgeable tour guide took my wife and I privately in an air-conditioned vehicle straight to where Paul’s ministry started. Along the way, Andreas brought us up to speed with the fascinating history of the area.
It’s a must see for any believer in Christ and His Bible.

If you go, ask for ANDREAS. He was awesome!

Having a private guide was wonderful. We had in depth conversations and learned so much about the man Paul before his conversion as well as the history of Greece. Saw historical places where Paul journeyed and sites like the Canal of Corinth and top of Acropolis Andreas was very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!!!
