Description

Leave the bustle of Athens behind as you journey westward along Greece's stunning coastal roads toward one of antiquity's most powerful cities. Your first stop takes your breath away, the Corinth Canal. Stand at the edge of this engineering marvel where sheer limestone cliffs plunge 90 meters, watching ships glide through the narrow passage that connects two seas. Continue to Ancient Corinth, where your official guide brings 2,500 years of history to life. Walk through the sprawling Agora, once buzzing with merchants from across the Mediterranean. Run your hands along the weathered columns of Apollo's Temple, standing since the 6th century BC, a testament to Corinth's immense wealth and influence. Discover why St. Paul chose this cosmopolitan hub to spread his message, living and preaching here for two years. Visit the very spot where he stood before the Roman proconsul, a moment that changed the course of Christianity. Explore the fascinating museum, where intricate mosaics, ancient pottery, and marble sculptures reveal daily life in this thriving port city. Your guide shares stories of gladiators, philosophers, and the legendary wealth that made Corinth rival even Athens. Before returning, passing the ancient port of Kechreai, where St. Paul first set foot on Corinthian soil, a moment frozen in time.
