What makes Ancient Corinth, Isthmus/ Kechries Private biblical tour from Athens or Nafplion a unique experience ?

Starting from Athens, we drive westward along the scenic coast of the Saronic Gulf through the ancient regions of Elefsis, Megara Kineta…etc

Soon after, we will reach the Corinth canal with its breathtaking views (short stop/on the bridge, which is the highest point of the canal) for an opportunity to take photos.

In ancient times, Kenchreai was one of the two ports of the inland city-state of Corinth. While Kenchreai served the eastern trade routes via the Saronic Gulf, Lechaion on the Corinthian Gulf served the trade routes leading west to Italy and the rest of Europe. Situated on the eastern side of the Isthmus of Corinth, Kenchreai sat at a natural crossroads for ships arriving from the east and overland traffic heading north and south between central Greece and the Peloponnese Christianity also arrived at Kenchreai early in the religion’s history. According to Acts 18:18, the Apostle Paul stopped at Kenchreai during his second missionary journey, where he had his hair cut to fulfill 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

Finally we will drive on top of the Hill to visit the Castle of Acrocorinth

An impressive Greek Orthodox cathedral, seat of the bishop of Modern Corinth, dedicated to Saint Paul, who lived in ancient Corinth 4 years.

The Diolkos saved ships sailing from the Ionian Sea to the Aegean Sea a dangerous sea journey round the Peloponnese, whose three headlands had a reputation for gales, especially Cape Matapan and Cape Malea. By contrast, both the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf were relatively sheltered waters. In addition, the overland passage of the Isthmus, a neck of land 6.4 km (4.0 mi) wide at its narrowest, offered a much shorter route to Athens for ships sailing to and from the Ionian coast of Greece.

The Diolkos also had a commercial function in transporting goods. Little is known of its success in increasing trade but because of the length of time it was maintained, it is presumed that it had some positive impact. In addition to trade, during wartime the Diolkos may have been used to transport lighter ships across land.
