Day 1 A Journey Through History and Scenic Wonders
Starting in Athens, we head westward, passing through Dafni and Elefsis, and following the picturesque coastline adorned with beautiful beaches. Our first stop is the Corinth Canal, a marvel of engineering from the 1890s that connects the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs. Take a moment here to admire the stunning views of this remarkably narrow waterway.
We then arrive at the ancient city of Corinth, where St. Paul lived and preached for 18 months. Once one of the wealthiest cities of antiquity, its rich history is evident in the impressive ruins, including the vast Agora (marketplace), several ornate fountains, and the iconic Temple of Apollo, dating back to the 6th century BC.
Wander through the remnants of Corinth, a city that once played a significant role in both ancient Greek and Roman history. On our way back to Athens, we pass by the seaside town of Kechreai, where St. Paul disembarked upon his arrival.
