| Tour to Ancient Corinth. Half-Day (morning) Operating from Apr 13 to Oct 31 - Every Mon & Fri Dep.: 8:45am Ret.: Approx. 2:00pm |
|
Departing from Athens we drive southwards along the highway, until we reach the Corinth Canal with its breathtaking views (short stop). The town of ancient Corinth where St. Paul lived, worked and preached for two years is 7km. from the canal. Back in the ancient times Corinth was the capital of Roman greece and one of the richest cities and this is quite evident by its remains, with the huge agora (market place) and Apollos Temple (6th C.B.C). The ancient has been destroyed completely 3 times in its past and was rebuilt from scratch. After exploring the museum and the site we proceed with a brief stop at the site of the ancient port of Kechreae where St. Paul disembarked for his return to Ephessus 52AD. Return to Athens for lunch. |
