Ancient Corinth Tour

The route to Ancient Corinth goes along the Saronic Gulf in a southwest direction and passes through the Corinth Canal which connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. The Canal (Isthmos tis Korinthou) is a land bridge that connects the Peloponnese Peninsula with the mainland of Greece. Arriving at the city of Ancient Corinth you will have the chance to get to know both the Christian and the Ancient Greek side of the city.             It was in the Ancient Corinth where Saint Paul lived and preached for two years and where he wrote one of his famous letters, the one to Corinthians. 

You will also visit the remains of the ancient city which include Agora (market place) and Apollo’s Temple (6th century B.C.) that both show clearly how reach and important Corinth was in Ancient Greek. Corinth was one of the most significant city-states of ancient times, a great rival to Athens and its dominance in Greece.
