The Isthmus of Corinth is a narrow strip of land that connects the Peloponnese peninsula to mainland Greece. It's famous for the Corinth Canal, a remarkable feat of engineering that cuts through the isthmus, creating a shortcut between the Ionian and Aegean Seas
The Diolkos was an ancient paved trackway from 6 century BC that crossed the Isthmus of Corinth in Greece. It was used to transport ships overland, allowing them to avoid the long and dangerous sea voyage around the Peloponnese peninsula.
The ancient port of Cenchreae was one of the two main harbors of Corinth, a powerful city-state in ancient Greece. Located on the Saronic Gulf, Cenchreae served as a vital hub for trade and transportation.It was also a significant early Christian site, mentioned in the New Testament as the place where the Apostle Paul embarked on his final journey to Ephesus.

The communication before the tour was timely and accurate. Not only did the tour company touch base, but so did Nick, our incredible driver and guide! We did a shore excursion from the cruise ship, so timing was important. Nick was early, and got us back to the ship at the time we requested. We were looking for a Biblical tour, and Nick was very knowledgeable about the time Paul visited Corinth. He was able to point out sites mentioned in the Bible as well as archaeological evidence of Paul’s time in Corinth. I use a wheelchair for mobility, and because of Nicks foresight, I don’t think I missed a thing!!
Our guide was very knowledgeable with many interesting facts about St Paul and the experience he had with the Greeks in Corinth. He answered our many questions with excellent English. We really enjoyed our time with Theodore.
Our tour of Corinth was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable. Our guide Rouslan was extremely knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the ancient ruins, the history of the region, and the significance of Corinth in Greek mythology and early Christianity. The highlight was visiting the Ancient Corinth archaeological site, where we saw the impressive Temple of Apollo and the ruins of the ancient city. We also stopped at the Corinth Canal, an engineering marvel with breathtaking views. The scenery throughout the tour was stunning, with a perfect mix of history and natural beauty. Transportation was comfortable, and we had just the right amount of time at each stop to explore, take photos, and absorb the atmosphere. Whether you’re a history lover or just looking for a unique experience in Greece, this tour is a must! Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
