- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal, linking the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf, was an aspiration dating back to ancient times. The tyrant Periander first suggested it in the 7th century BCE, but it was deemed too ambitious. Instead, a paved road known as the Diolkos was constructed to transport ships overland. Several leaders, including Julius Caesar and Nero, attempted the project, but it wasn’t until 1881 that construction finally commenced under Greek and French engineers. Completed in 1893, the canal extends 6.4 kilometers and cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth. Although too narrow for modern large ships, it remains an essential passage for smaller vessels and a major tourist attraction. The canal symbolizes Greek perseverance and engineering ambition spanning millennia.
- Ancient Port of Kenchreai - The Apostle Paul is believed to have visited the ancient port of Kechries, near Corinth, during his missionary journeys in the 1st century AD. Kechries served as the eastern port of ancient Corinth, connecting the city to the Saronic Gulf and facilitating trade and travel. Paul’s arrival here marked a pivotal moment in spreading Christianity to Greece, as he used Corinth as a base to preach and establish early Christian communities.
The port, though less renowned than Corinth’s western Lechaion harbor, was crucial for commerce and travel in antiquity. Today, the ruins of Kechries provide insight into ancient maritime life and the routes Paul and early Christians traveled. This connection between Apostle Paul and Kechries highlights the blend of faith, history, and daily life in the ancient Greek world, marking the port as a significant site in Christian heritage.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - The Apostle Paul had a profound impact on ancient Corinth during his stay around 50-52 AD. Arriving in this vibrant, multicultural city, Paul preached the message of Christianity, establishing one of the earliest and most significant Christian communities. His teachings emphasized faith, unity, and moral living, addressing the diverse social challenges Corinth faced, including divisions, immorality, and religious conflicts.
Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, preserved in the New Testament, provide deep insight into the struggles and growth of this fledgling church. His guidance helped shape Christian doctrine and community life, encouraging believers to live in love and harmony despite differences. The legacy of Paul’s mission in Corinth laid the foundation for Christianity’s spread throughout Greece and the wider Roman world, making Corinth a pivotal center for early Christian thought and practice.

- Acrocorinth - Acrocorinth, the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a towering rock rising over 570 meters above the city, offering strategic views of the surrounding plains and seas. It was continuously fortified from antiquity through the Middle Ages due to its key defensive position. In ancient times, it was home to the Temple of Aphrodite, linked to the city’s prosperity and myths.
The fortress was later expanded by Romans, Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottomans, each leaving their mark on its walls and gates. During the medieval period, it served as the seat of the local ruler and a vital military stronghold in the Peloponnese.
Today, Acrocorinth stands as a powerful symbol of Corinth’s historical importance, blending ancient mythology with centuries of military history, and offering breathtaking views along with layers of architectural remains from different civilizations.
