Highlights
  • Areopagus - We are starting from the famous place where Saint Denis was baptized by Paul in 51 A.D. This is the well-known Mars Hill at the Acropolis.
  • Roman Agora - One of the Ancient Agoras of Athens, the Roman Forum was the first place Paul visited when he arrived from Peireus Port. From this monument, the Roman Agora, the Judges invited him to go to Areopagus to speak about the 13 God in 51 A.D.
  • Flisvos Marina - An important location where Paul arrived in Greece at Neo Faliro by boat, and where the Mosaic of Paul is located.
  • Corinth Canal - The Isthmus Canal is 6 km long, 80 meters high, 24 meters wide, and 10 meters deep. King George began the excavations in 1882 A.D., employing 5,000 well-paid workers. The canal connects the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea.
  • Kechries - The ancient harbor where Paul met Priscilla and Aquila making tents by the water. The church here is a significant monument for visitors, where Paul, Priscilla, Aquila, and Phoebe practiced. Paul departed from this port in 53 A.D. to go to Ephesus.
  • Temple of Apollo - The oldest Temple of Apollo in Greece, dedicated to the God of Light and Music, the local god of the Corinthians. Built in 716 B.C., it is the only temple in Greece where the sun shines from all sides.
  • Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - The most important part of the tour. The Step of Paul inside Ancient Corinth, where he spoke to the Romans and Corinthians. The Bema.
  • The Diolkos - A 2,700-year-old pathway used to drag boats from the Corinthian Sea to the Aegean Sea and vice versa. Named after a special team, Corinth became the center of the market in Greece.
  • Acrocorinth - The winter palace of Caesar with the Temple of Aphrodite. It is the largest castle in Europe, standing 530 meters high, and once housed 1,000 of the most beautiful women. The 2,500-year-old castle became the palace of King William Villehardouin in 1246 A.D.
  • Church of Saint Demetrios on the Acrocorinth - A Christian church from the 6th century A.D. inside Acrocorinth with an amazing view. All visitors can enter for free.
  • Archaeological Site of Isthmia - The Isthmian Games, less significant than the Olympic Games, were held here. Paul passed through the area when he came to Corinth and said, “You are doing games for glory, that’s good, but we are racing for the glory of our God,” because the games were being held at that time.

Corinth tour - Our family took this tour in August, 2024, we had an excellent experience. The tour was well organized, the driver was very knowledgeable about all the stops and the owner of the tour company even called to get feedback on our day, that was very much appreciated. I want to give a shout-out to our guide, Michael. Michael made us feel welcome from the moment we were picked up at our hotel, and this carried through the entire day. I highly recommend this tour company for this excursion.

Perfect! - We had our tour with Michael who was wonderful! He picked us up at our cruise port in Piraeus. He was able to pick us up earlier than our scheduled time, since we were able to be ready earlier than we thought. The car was very clean, and he even brought us some waters! He drove us to all the places on the tour and did a great job explaining the significance of each location. We enjoyed thoroughly visiting the places of Paul’s journey and the importance. After visiting the Corinth ruins, Michael made an extra stop for us to have lunch which was traditional Greek food and was so delicious! At the end of the tour, Michael even was able to drop us off at the door of our hotel at the end of the day in Athens. He really made us feel welcome and took great care of us on our tour. We’d love to take another tour with this group.

10/10 Biblical Corinth Tour!! - Amazing tour and an even better tour guide!! My husband and I went on the Corinth Biblical tour. From the beginning Konstantinos was professional, knowledgeable, super sweet, attentive, and personable. His love for his job and his country truly shows. He took us to spots that were not full of tourists, yet relevant to Corinth and St.Pauls journey. He gave us as much time as we needed at the sites which was a super plus. He always had water for us, Which in August you will truly appreciate! Needless to say the luxury Mercedes makes for a comfortable trip. We loved Konstantinos and the tour 10/10 would recommend!!

A must for Christians touring Corinth - The day trip was wonderful. We had a very knowledgeable tour guide and driver. Nice vehicle and only 1 other couple. The sites were exactly what we wanted to see, a must for fellow Christians touring ancient Corinth! I highly recommend using Viator. They also communicate very well with updates and are professional.

Excellent tour following in the Apostlle Paul’s footsteps. Tracing the Bible and tying it to Greek history. - Kostas was a perfect host and guide for our family. Very comfortable riding his Mercedes van, air conditioned and smooth. Our trip included my wife and I, myn15 year old and my 78 yr old mother in law. So he was able to tailor the tour to many age group interests. Kostas was extremely knowledgeable in history and biblical facts. Trust me we had my mother in law with us who was very excited to follow in Paul’s footsteps and check facts. Convenient stops for viewing and getting water. I would highly recommend Kostas and his tours.
