Starting from Athens we drive westwards until we reach the Corinth Canal. We make a short stop to admire and make photos of this great canal that connects the Aegean and Ionian seas.
Shortly thereafter we arrive at the ancient town of Corinth, where St. Paul lived for two years and established a church, sending from here the two famous epistles that are part of the New Testament. In ancient times, Corinth stood out as one of the most prominent and richest cities which is still evident to the present day visitor through the remains of in the archaeological site.
Your guide tell you the history and mythology of Corinth, the town where Jason and Medea lived, as you visit the remains of the huge Agora (market place) and the Temple of Apollo dating back to 6th century B.C.
The tour continues with a short stop at the site of the ancient port of Cehries, where St. Paul disembarked. Lunch can be arranged at a traditional Greek tavern overlooking the Corinth Canal or at a beach-front fish restaurant. We return to Athens following the same route and drop you off at your hotel.
