Ancient Corinth Half Day

• Ancient Corinth

Book our Ancient Corinth Half Day Tour and discover ancient treasures that lie very close to Athens, in the once glorious Ancient Corinth.
We will leave Athens and drive Southwest until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will have a short stop. The Corinth Canal, which connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, is just amazing and you can enjoy wonderful views and take some of the best pictures you have ever taken!

Then we will move on to visit the ancient town of Corinth where St. Paul lived and preached for two years back in the days. The remnants of the City, which include the Agora (market place) and Apollo’s Temple (6th century B.C.) clearly show how rich and important Corinth was in Ancient Times.

Final stop will be the Site of the Ancient Port of Kechries. According to Acts 18:18, Apostle Paul stopped at Kenchreai (Kechries) 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 (Romans 16:1). (Source: wikipedia)

After that, we return to Athens for lunch and this is where this Ancient Corinth Half Day Tour comes to an end.
