Biblical Private Tour in the Footsteps of St. Paul in Corinth

The Corinth Canal is a marvel of engineering that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea.
The idea of constructing a canal through the Isthmus of Corinth was proposed as early as the 7th century BC by the tyrant Periander, but it was not until the late 19th century that the canal was finally completed. The construction of the canal was a significant engineering feat, as it involved cutting through solid rock and navigating challenging geological conditions.
Today, the Corinth Canal stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. It serves as a vital waterway for shipping, providing a shortcut for vessels traveling between the western Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea.
Visiting the Corinth Canal is a truly awe-inspiring experience, allowing visitors to witness firsthand the convergence of ancient history and modern engineering. (1 hour drive from Athens)
