Discover Ancient Crossroads & Biblical History
Enjoy a well-paced tour in the Corinthos area with both archaeological and religious significance. Discover one of the highlights of the Peloponnese just a few hours away from the city of Athens. Cross the Corinth Canal to leave mainland Greece and explore Ancient Corinth, antiquity’s most powerful commercial crossroads. Close to the Ancient city of Corinth, we will make our first stop at the large citadel of Acrocorinth.
Moving on, we will visit the Ancient Town of Corinth, where St. Paul lived and preached for two years. The remains of the city, which include the agora (marketplace) and Temple of Apollo, one of the most outstanding monuments of the pre–Roman period (6th-century BC), are a testament to the prosperity and significance of Corinth during ancient times. The trip will conclude with a short stop at the site of the Ancient Port of Cehrees, after which you will comfortably return to Athens via the same route.
