- Areopagus Hill - Visitors explore the sacred rock of the Acropolis, specifically Areopagus Hill, where the Apostle Paul delivered one of his most powerful speeches to the Athenians about the Unknown God.
- The Monastery of Daphni - Situated on the slopes of Mount Aigaleo near Palataki Aigaleo, the Daphni Monastery is a significant Byzantine monument. It was constructed on the site of an ancient Temple of Apollo, likely the sanctuary of Daphneion Apollo. The monastery is enclosed by strong fortified walls with towers and two entrance gates on the eastern and western sides. Throughout its long history, it was used by Cistercian monks during the Frankish period before returning to Orthodox control after the Ottoman conquest. Although the site suffered severe damage from earthquakes, major restoration efforts—especially on its stunning mosaics—continue to preserve its artistic and spiritual legacy.
- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a waterway that crosses the narrow isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf. In doing so, the canal separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, effectively turning it into an island. Although completed in the late 19th century, the canal fulfilled a 2,000-year-old dream. Before its construction, ships in the Aegean Sea wishing to reach the Adriatic or anchor at Corinth, a prosperous shipping city, had to sail around the Peloponnese, adding an extra 185 nautical miles to their journey. It is believed that Periander, the tyrant of Corinth (602 BC), was the first to conceive of digging the Corinth Canal. As the project proved too complex given the limited technical capabilities of the time, Periander built the diolkos, a stone road that allowed ships to be transported on wheeled platforms.
- Archaeological Museum of Isthmia - An archaic marble pediment dating to the end of the 7th century BC, originally placed at the entrance of the first Temple of Poseidon. Glazing from Kenchreai arrived packed in pairs on a ship from Alexandria, Egypt, and was found submerged on the floor of the Temple of Isis on the south pier of the harbor. These colored sections of glass resemble today’s stained glass windows, depicting harbor panoramas, exotic landscapes, animals and plants, full-length figures of philosophers such as Homer and Plato, ships, and geometric decorative bands. An imperial statue in the type of Zeus (mid 2nd century BC). An epinician stele with a portrait of the Corinthian musician Lefkios Cornelius (150 AD). Animal figurines, notably a golden bull figurine offered as a vow to the Sanctuary (6th century BC). Commercial amphorae from Isthmia, Rachi, and Kenchreai. Cult and weapon offerings. Artifacts from the Mycenaean cemetery of Almira and the Roman cemetery of Rachi Koutsogila at Kenchreai.
- Isthmia - A short distance from the Corinth Canal, the largest technical project in the country during the 19th century, lies a place with a glorious history. The Isthmian Games, the second most important sporting competitions in Greece and the entire ancient world, were held here. The site occupies a topical and pivotal position where the Peloponnese joins Central Greece. The presence of the Apostle Paul in the Isthmian region is considered highly significant, and the biblical reference to his attendance at the Isthmian Games is important as it marks the first official presence of a Christian at the games. The apostle worked at the Isthmian Games as a tent maker, providing accommodation for athletes and visitors to the games, which were the second most important after the Olympic Games in Ancient Olympia. The Apostle Paul proclaimed the message of Christ to the visitors and athletes of the games, and his actions were influential.
- Archaia Korinthos - Agora: A rectangular structure 160 meters long and 70 meters wide, comprising central shops, small temples, an altar, and the renowned podium or Bema from which the Apostle Paul addressed the Corinthians in 52 AD.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - A tour of the ancient Corinth archaeological site. Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land joining the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. For Christians, Corinth is well known from 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 the Apostle’s missionary travels. Additionally, the second book of Pausanias’ Description of Greece is devoted to Corinth. Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans demolished Corinth in 146 BC, built a new city in its place in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece.

Acrocorinth - ### Acrocorinth Castle
Discover the impressive Acrocorinth, one of the most important fortified sites in Greece and a spectacular landmark overlooking Ancient Corinth and the Corinthian Gulf. Built on the summit of a dramatic rocky hill, the fortress has a fascinating history spanning several civilizations, including the Ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottomans. Its strategic position made Acrocorinth one of the most important defensive strongholds in the region for centuries. During the visit, guests can explore the impressive fortress walls, historic gates, churches, and remnants of different periods while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The visit offers a unique combination of ancient history, medieval architecture, breathtaking scenery, and cultural heritage, making Acrocorinth a memorable highlight of any Corinth experience. -
Archaeological Site of Isthmia - Conference and Meeting Space
Due to its current geographical position, Isthmia was also a place of conferences and gatherings. The most important events that took place here include: in 481 and 480 BC, gatherings of Greek cities to deal with the Persians; in 337 BC, Philip II was proclaimed commander-in-chief of the Greeks; in 336 BC, Alexander the Great was proclaimed commander-in-chief of all Greeks; in 302 BC, Dimitrios Poliorkites was proclaimed ruler of Greece; and in 196 BC, the Roman ruler Titus Quinctius Flamininus declared the self-governing and free states of Corinthia, Phocis, Locris, Euboea, Magnesia, Thessaly, and Perrhaebia during the Isthmian Games, while Corinthia became the seat of the Achaean Commonwealth. The monuments are numerous. - Kechries - Kechries is a village in the municipality of Corinth in Corinthia, Greece, part of the community of Xylokeriza. It takes its name from the ancient port town Kenchreai or Cenchreae (as mentioned in the Bible), which was situated at the same location. Christianity also arrived at Kenchreai early in the religion’s history. According to Acts 18:18, the Apostle Paul stopped at Kenchreai during his second missionary journey, where he had his hair cut to fulfil a vow, probably 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.” (Acts 18)
- Temple of Apollo - Temple of Apollo, Ancient Corinth, Corinth 20007, Greece. The Temple of Apollo at Corinth was constructed in 550 BC. It is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland, featuring monolithic columns that are rare in the ancient world, built around 560 BCE.
- Archaia Korinthos - During Paul’s stay in Corinth, he was brought for judgment before the proconsul Lucius Junius Gallio Annaeanus, also known as Gallio, on the accusation of conducting illegal teachings. Gallio, however, refused to judge what he considered to be a mere religious dispute among the Jews. According to tradition, the site of Paul’s trial was the Bema, a large elevated rostrum standing prominently in the centre of the Roman Forum of ancient Corinth, from where the city’s officials addressed the public. Probably because of the monument’s connection to Saint Paul, the Bema was transformed into a Christian church during the Byzantine period.
- Apostolou Pavlou - Visit the Church of St Paul in Corinth. Apostolos Pavlos Church, Apostolou Pavlou 70 Notara, Corinth 20100, Greece. The Apostle Paul, during his stay in Corinth, which lasted one and a half years in 51-52 AD, founded the metropolitan church there. This church is widely known both from the Book of Acts and from the two “To Corinthians” letters of the apostle.
