• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a waterway that traverses the narrow isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf. This canal effectively separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, transforming it into an island. Although completed in the late 19th century, the canal was a dream for over 2000 years. Before its construction, ships in the Aegean Sea had to navigate around the Peloponnese to reach the Adriatic or dock in Corinth, adding an extra 185 nautical miles to their journey. Periander, the tyrant of Corinth (602 BC), is believed to have first envisioned the canal. Due to the complexity of the project and the limited technology of the time, Periander built the diolkos, a stone road that allowed ships to be transported on wheeled platforms.
• Isthmia - Located near the Corinth Canal, the largest technical project in Greece during the 19th century, Isthmia boasts a rich history. It hosted the second most significant sports competitions in ancient Greece, the Isthmian Games, which were renowned throughout the ancient world. The Apostle Paul’s presence in the Isthmian region is noteworthy, as the Bible references his attendance at the Isthmian Games, marking the first official Christian presence at the event. Apostle Paul worked as a tent maker at the games, providing accommodation for athletes and visitors. His proclamation of Christ to the attendees was impactful.
• Archaeological Museum of Isthmia - Features an archaic marble pediment from the late 7th century BC, originally placed at the entrance of the first Temple of Poseidon. The museum also houses glass sections from Kechreon, shipped from Alexandria, Egypt, and found submerged at the Temple of Isis. These colorful glass pieces resemble modern stained glass windows, depicting harbor scenes, exotic landscapes, animals, plants, and figures like Homer and Plato. Other notable artifacts include an imperial statue of Zeus (mid 2nd century BC), an Epinician stele with a portrait of Corinthian musician Lefkios Cornelius (150 AD), and a golden bull figurine, a vow to the Sanctuary (6th century BC). The museum also displays commercial amphorae from Isthmia, Rachi, and Kechrees, as well as cult and weapon offerings, and artifacts from the Mycenaean cemetery of Almira and the Roman cemetery of Rachi Koutsogila Cenchreon.
• Archaia Korinthos - The Agora is a rectangular structure measuring 160 meters long and 70 meters wide, featuring central shops, small temples, an altar, and the famous podium or Bema, where Apostle Paul addressed the Corinthians in 52 AD.
• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Tour the archaeological site of ancient Corinth, a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, situated between Athens and Sparta. For Christians, Corinth is significant due to the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul’s missionary journeys. Additionally, the second book of Pausanias’ Description of Greece is dedicated to Corinth. Ancient Corinth was one of Greece’s largest and most important cities, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans destroyed Corinth in 146 BC, rebuilt it in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece.
• Archaeological Site of Isthmia - Temple of Poseidon. The Temple of Poseidon and Amphitrite Isthmia was first constructed between 690-650 BC. A major fire destroyed it around 450 BC, leading to the construction of a larger Doric temple. Another fire in 390 BC, during the Corinthian War, caused significant damage, prompting another reconstruction in the Doric style. After the Roman invasion, it was damaged in 148 BC and later reconstructed and beautified at the end of the 1st century AD. Its operation ceased with the Visigoth invasion of Alaric in the 4th century AD. The stadium was initially built around 550 BC, with a new stage for the Isthmian Games constructed in the 3rd century BC. The “ysplex,” a unique triangular release system for athletes, has been preserved. The Sanctuary of Palaimon was a place of worship for the young Melikertis-Palaimon, considered the patron saint of sailors. In Roman times, nocturnal services and bull sacrifices were held in his honor.
• Archaeological Site of Isthmia - Theater. Located northeast of the Temple of Poseidon, the theater was built around 400 BC for the Isthmian musical competitions. It was possibly constructed by Herod Atticus between 150-160 AD. The mosaics are similar to those in Ostia and Pompeii, with two central depictions of the “sea troupe,” a procession of sea creatures linked to the cult of Dionysus. Notable features include an octopus with seven tentacles and crabs. Another black-and-white mosaic shows Neris riding a Triton, surrounded by various sea creatures. Beneath the Roman bath floor are architectural remains of a classical period bath from the 4th century BC.
• Archaeological Site of Isthmia - Conference and Meeting Space. Due to its strategic location, Isthmia was a hub for conferences and gatherings. Significant events include the 481 and 480 BC meetings of Greek cities to address the Persian threat, the 337 BC proclamation of Philip II as commander-in-chief of the Greeks, the 336 BC declaration of Alexander the Great as commander-in-chief of all Greeks, and the 302 BC proclamation of Dimitrios Poliorkites as ruler of Greece. In 196 BC, Roman ruler Titus Kointos Flamininus declared the self-governing and free states of Corinthia, Phocia, Lokra, Evia, Magnesia, Thessaly, and Peraiva, with Corinthia becoming the seat of the Achaean Commonwealth. The site is home to numerous monuments.
• Temple of Apollo - Temple of Apollo, Ancient Corinth, Corinth 20007 Greece. The Temple of Apollo at Corinth was built in 550 BC. It is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland, featuring monolithic columns, which are rare in the ancient world, constructed around 560 BCE.
• Kechries - Kechries is a village in the municipality of Corinth in Corinthia, Greece, part of the Xylokeriza community. It is named after the ancient port town Kenchreai or Cenchreae, as mentioned in the Bible, which was located at the same site. Christianity reached Kenchreai early in its history. According to Acts 18:18, Apostle Paul stopped at Kenchreai during his second missionary journey, where he had his hair cut to fulfill a vow, likely a Nazirite vow. Paul mentions the place and a woman named Phoebe in the local assembly in his epistle to the Romans: “And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.” In Acts 18.
• Apostolou Pavlou - Visit the Church of St. Paul in Corinth. Apostolos Pavlos Church, Apostolou Pavlou 70 Notara, Corinth 20100 Greece. During his stay in Corinth, Apostle Paul spent one and a half years there, founding the metropolitan church in 51-52 AD. This church is well-known from the Book of Acts and the two “To Corinthians” letters of the apostle.
• Archaia Korinthos - During Paul’s time in Corinth, he was brought before the proconsul Lucius Junius Gallio Annaeanus, also known as Gallio, on charges of illegal teachings. Gallio, however, refused to judge what he saw as a religious dispute among the Jews. Tradition holds that Paul’s trial took place at the Bema, a large elevated platform in the center of the Roman Forum of ancient Corinth, from which city officials addressed the public. Due to its association with Saint Paul, the Bema was converted into a Christian church during the Byzantine period.
