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

Andreas was full of historical information. The drive was enjoyable going and coming. We stopped at the Corinth Canal and then Ancient Corinth. We saw where Paul lived and walked the same area he would have walked. Then we followed the road to the coast where he walked to leave Corinth for the last time. Enjoyed the beauty of the flowers, the memorials to Paul at a couple of the churches and the peace of sitting on the ruins where Paul lived first and baptized early believers was a joy to experience. Thank you Andreas for a great day!

What made the excursion memorable was the realization that you were walking where the Apostle Paul himself walked - mind blowing. On a lighter note, we had a good group, with an amount of joking. As an example, asking where a person could get a cup of coffee, on a street lined with coffee bars.

Such a great tour. Andreas was knowledgeable and told the story of Paul’s life in detail. The trip was the perfect length. We had a great lunch in Corinth. Highly recommend. With 2 small kids it was great to have a personal tour guide so as to not get lost in a large crowd. And the kids loved the Corinth Canal.

I was a bit disappointed, this tour was basically a private driver to take you to places that we could have drove a car and read information on our own. Since the driver or (tour guide) is not licensed he is unable to go in the archeological museum to explain or guide.
If this is a biblical tour it would be fitting to have a guide connect the dots from biblical narrative to lived experience.
Driver nice, but not at all what I expected from Biblical tour.

We were happy with our tour guide Nick however upon further review. We did not stop at the first two stops which was Flisvos Marina and Areopagus Hill which was disappointing. He did bring us to a local coffee shop which was a fun experience. The rest of the tour was great and I am happy I got to see all the history. The tour is not completely private if you have two people but there were only four people.

Our guide, Michael, was very informative and cordial. He kept us informed of everything we were seeing and what was coming next. I enjoyed talking to him and learning about the history of the area and seeing the scenery. Would recommend this tour for anybody interested in Corinth and St. Paul’s journey in this part of the world.
