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)

After 20min. drive from the Corinth Canal we will visit a significant port. Kechries Port, situated near Corinth in Greece, holds a significant historical connection to Saint Paul, the apostle who played a crucial role in spreading Christianity in the ancient world.
It was a bustling center of commerce and cultural exchange, making it an ideal location for Saint Paul to embark on his journeys to spread the teachings of Christianity.
His teachings and actions inspired many to embrace the Christian faith. His time spent in this historical port would have been filled with interactions with sailors, merchants, and travelers, spreading the message of love, peace, and salvation.
Today, visitors to Kechries Port can still feel the echoes of Saint Paul's presence and the profound influence he had on the region. The historical connection between Saint Paul and Kechries serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of early Christianity and the power of faith to transcend time and borders.
