Itinerary
1
Isthmus of Corinth
The journey begins at the iconic Isthmus of Corinth, a narrow land bridge that has connected the Peloponnese with mainland Greece for millennia. The Corinth Canal, a marvel of 19th-century engineering, cuts through the rock to create a shortcut for maritime trade. The panoramic views and historical importance of this site provide an excellent introduction to the adventure.
20 minutes
2
The Diolkos
Next is the Diolkos, an ancient stone-paved road that allowed ships to be transported overland across the Isthmus. This engineering feat played a crucial role in Corinth's maritime dominance and remains a testament to the ingenuity of ancient times.
10 minutes
3
Ancient Port of Kenchreai
The eastern port of Kenchreai, a key commercial hub during the Roman era, serves as the next destination. This historic site is where Apostle Paul arrived in 53 A.D. Today, the remnants of Roman harbor facilities, temples, and early Christian structures bring to life the vibrant history of ancient Corinth.
20 minutes
4
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
Glauke Fountain
The tour continues to the Glauke Fountain, carved into the hillside and steeped in mythological significance. According to legend, Glauke, the daughter of King Creon, sought refuge here after being poisoned by Medea. This site adds a touch of mythology to the historical narrative of Corinth.
Paul's Column in the Roman Forum
The Bema, an elevated platform in the Roman Forum, is the next highlight. This is where Apostle Paul delivered his teachings in a city dominated by pagan traditions. The site later became a Christian church, embodying the cultural and religious transformations of the time.

6
Temple of Apollo
The Bema of Apostle Paul in Ancient Corinth is a significant historical and religious site. This elevated platform in the Agora served as a place for public addresses and legal rulings. During the Roman period, it functioned as a tribunal where governors issued judgments.
According to tradition, Paul the Apostle was brought before Gallio, the Roman proconsul, around 51 AD. Accused of spreading new religious teachings, Paul was dismissed by Gallio, allowing him to continue his mission. This event, recorded in Acts 18:12-17, marks Corinth as a key site in early Christian history.
Today, the Bema is both an archaeological and spiritual landmark, drawing visitors seeking connection to the biblical narrative. Modern mosaics depicting Paul’s trial and journey enhance the atmosphere, making it a profound site of reflection within the ancient ruins of Corinth.
10 minutes

Akrokorinthos
The ancient fortified acropolis of Acrocorinth provides breathtaking views and layers of history. Visitors encounter ruins from classical Greece alongside Byzantine, Frankish, and Ottoman fortifications, highlighting the city’s long-standing significance.

The journey concludes at the Apostle Paul Church, a three-aisled basilica built in 1936 on the site of an earlier church established by Apostle Paul. This sacred space commemorates Paul’s profound influence on Corinth and the early spread of Christianity.
