• Isthmus of Corinth - Begin the day at the Isthmus of Corinth, the slender land bridge connecting mainland Greece to the Peloponnese. Historically, it served as the natural divide between these regions, holding significant strategic and symbolic importance. Since 1893, the remarkable Corinth Canal has traversed the 6.3-kilometer-wide isthmus, turning the Peloponnese into an island and providing a breathtaking view of steep limestone cliffs and clear blue waters. It’s an ideal introduction to the region’s engineering marvels and rich history.
• The Diolkos - Located a short distance from the canal is the ancient Diolkos, an extraordinary engineering achievement that predates the canal by over two thousand years. This stone-paved trackway enabled ancient ships to be transported overland across the Isthmus of Corinth, avoiding the dangerous voyage around the Peloponnese. Walking along its remnants offers insight into the practical ingenuity of the ancient Greeks and the importance of this shortcut for trade and naval movement.
• Ancient Port of Kenchreai - Arrive at Kechrees, the eastern port of Corinth, where the Apostle Paul arrived during his first visit to the city around 51 A.D. It was also from here that he later departed for Ephesus, entrusting his letter to the Romans to a notable Christian woman named Phoebe, a deaconess of the local church. Although only modest traces of the ancient port remain, the site holds profound spiritual and historical significance as a place connected to Paul’s ministry and the early Christian community.
• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Enter the heart of Ancient Corinth, one of the most influential and affluent cities of the classical era. For Christian visitors, this site is particularly meaningful: at the Bema, a raised platform in the city center, Paul is believed to have addressed the local community and stood trial before the Roman proconsul. Nearby, the Agora—the bustling marketplace—evokes the daily life of the Corinthians Paul wrote to. Amid the ruins, the impressive Temple of Apollo stands as a testament to the city’s extensive and intricate religious history.
• Archaeological Museum of Corinth - Conclude your visit with the Museum of Ancient Corinth, established in 1932 to safeguard the wealth of artifacts unearthed during excavations. The museum provides a deeper understanding of Corinth’s extensive history, with highlights including prehistoric discoveries and items from the Sanctuary of Asklepios. Carefully curated galleries bring to life the daily, religious, and artistic aspects of the city across the centuries, complementing what you’ve observed at the archaeological site.
• Acrocorinth - Discover Acrocorinth, the fortified acropolis that shielded ancient and medieval Corinth. Beyond its impressive walls, towers, and bastions—constructed and reinforced through Greek, Byzantine, Frankish, Venetian, and Ottoman periods—Acrocorinth also housed the renowned Temple of Aphrodite. This sanctuary was famous for its community of up to 1,000 priestesses, underscoring the site’s religious and strategic importance. As you explore the ruins and enjoy sweeping views, you’ll witness the layers of history that shaped this commanding fortress.
• Apostolos Pavlos Church - Conclude your tour at the modern Church of Saint Paul, situated in the heart of ancient Corinth. Inside, a striking mosaic by artists Pastorutti and Tsotsonis vividly illustrates the apostle’s journey and mission in the city. This contemporary tribute creates a meaningful connection between Corinth’s rich early Christian history and the present day, offering a reflective space to honor Paul’s enduring legacy.
