Corinth Canal, which was finally constructed millennia later (1893), it made passage around the peninsula much safer for the vessels, but it also meant backbreaking labor for the unfortunate men who were tasked with pulling the vessels across the isthmus. Under the blue skies of Greece, maybe we will see a vessel slowly makes its way through the rocky walls of a narrow, artificial waterway.

We will visit the ancient city of Corinth was first inhabited in the Neolithic period (6500-3250 B.C.). Apostle Paul, one of the most important figures of early Christianity, visited the city of Corinth three times and his letters “to the Corinthians” are excellent examples of Christian discourse, and the museum enjoy the selection of statues, sculpture, Greek and Latin inscriptions, as well as finds related to the presence of the Jewish community in the area can also be seen (Atrium).
