About this experience
Join on a journey through Greece’s ancient landmarks, beginning with the impressive Corinth Canal in Isthmia, connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas, which creates a natural divide between the mainland and the Peloponnese. Next, explore the city of Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos), once a bustling center of trade and spirituality, where you’ll visit landmarks like the Temple of Apollo and the ancient agora. Stroll through this historic site, imagining life as it was when Saint Paul arrived to spread his teachings to Corinthian residents.
From there, ascend to Acrocorinth, the towering acropolis of Corinth. Offering sweeping views of the region, this ancient citadel served as both a fort and sanctuary over centuries, and it showcases layers of architectural history from Greek, Roman, and Byzantine civilizations. Then, visit Kechries, the ancient port where Paul set off on his second missionary journey.

Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
Our driver will pick you up from your hotel and driving along the mainland coast to Peloponnese, we will have our first stop, 1 hour later, at the Canal of Corinth (6 km length and 80m height).
2
We continue to reach at Ancient Corinth which was one of Saint Paul’s beloved cities. Apostle Paul is also Corinth patron saint. We will have the chance to visit the Ancient Market and the Bema of Apostle Paul or Galionas, a large elevated rostrum standing prominently in the center of the Roman Forum of ancient Corinth, 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). We will walk at the same paths that Apostle of Nations walked and preached hundreds of years earlier.
3
Our next stop will be at 'Kechrias Port. Around 52 AD, Apostle Paul arrived from Athens to Corinth. He stayed in Corinth for eighteen months, establishing and consolidating the Church of Corinth. Then, his next journey began, from Kechrias port. Next station is Ephesus and his final destination Syria. It is said that In Kehreas he shaved his head because he had made a vow. With great emotion he parted with his brothers in Christ of Corinth, who accompanied him to the port of Kenchreon. After our visit, we will make a short stop for a cup of coffee and then we will return back to Athens. The duration of the tour is about 5 hours
