- Corinth Canal - The journey begins at the remarkable Corinth Canal, where the driver shares its fascinating and diverse history from ancient times to today. The Corinth Canal links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, thus arguably turning the peninsula into an island. The canal, dug at sea level without locks, stretches 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) and is only 21.4 meters (70 feet) wide at its base, making it inaccessible to many modern ships. From above, one can enjoy a stunning view of the isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while watching vessels navigate the canal below.
- Ancient Port of Kenchreai - Arrive at Kechrees, the eastern port of Corinth, where the Apostle Paul first arrived in the city around 51 A.D. It was also from here that he later departed for Ephesus, entrusting his letter to the Romans to Phoebe, a notable Christian woman and deaconess of the local church.
- Archaeological Site of Isthmia - The Apostle Paul’s presence in the Isthmian region is highly significant, with biblical references to his attendance at the Isthmian games marking the first official Christian presence at the games. The Apostle Paul worked as a tent maker at the Isthmian games, providing accommodation for athletes and visitors. These games were the second most important after the Olympic games in Ancient Olympia. Paul proclaimed the son of Christ to the visitors and athletes.
- 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. Glazing of Kechreon, transported in pairs on a ship from Alexandria, Egypt, was found submerged on the floor of the Temple of Isis on the harbor’s south pier.
- Archaia Korinthos - Visitors can explore the archaeological site and museum of Ancient Corinth, one of Ancient Greece’s most significant cities. There is an hour to explore the Temple of Apollo, the Temple of Octavia, the baths, the Bema where St. Paul addressed the Corinthians, the Peirene fountain complex, the theatre, and the Roman Odeum. The museum within the archaeological site showcases exhibits from the area.
- Temple of Apollo - Constructed in 550 BC, the Temple of Apollo at Corinth is a notable historical site.
- Archaeological Museum of Corinth - Built between 1931-1932, the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth was designed to display recent archaeological findings. Located within the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth, Greece, it falls under the jurisdiction of the 37th Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service. Key features of the site include: • Hadgimoustafa spring • Lechaion Road • Basilica • Fountain of Peirene • Stoa • Agora • Odeum • Other temples • Theatre
- Apostolos Pavlos Church - During his stay in Corinth, the 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 letters “To Corinthians” by the apostle.
