- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - One of the most significant religious routes in Greece is the “Footsteps of the Apostle Paul.” Although Paul was not among the 12 disciples of Christ, he is a pivotal figure in Christianity. He spread the faith more than anyone else, earning the titles of equal apostle and “Apostle of the Gentiles.” Since 1896, systematic archaeological excavations by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens have uncovered extensive parts of the ancient city, and recent digs by the Greek Ministry of Culture have revealed important new aspects of antiquity. For Christians, Corinth is renowned from Saint Paul’s two letters in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. It is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul’s missionary journeys. Additionally, the second book of Pausanias’ Description of Greece is dedicated to Corinth.
- Ancient Port of Kenchreai - The site where Apostle Paul baptized the first Christians. In ancient times, Kenchreai was one of the two ports of the inland city-state of Corinth. Kenchreai handled eastern trade routes via the Saronic Gulf, while Lechaion on the Corinthian Gulf managed trade routes to the west, including Italy and the rest of Europe. Located on the eastern side of the Isthmus of Corinth, Kenchreai was a natural crossroads for ships from the east and overland traffic between central Greece and the Peloponnese.
- Acrocorinth - Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος, meaning ‘Upper Corinth’ or ‘the acropolis of ancient Corinth’) is a monolithic rock that overlooks the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. George Forrest described it as “the most impressive acropolis of mainland Greece.” With its reliable water supply, Acrocorinth’s fortress was frequently used as a final defensive stronghold in southern Greece, controlling the Isthmus of Corinth and preventing enemy entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.
- Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal has existed since 700 BC and connects the Ionian Sea with the Aegean Sea through the Corinthian Gulf. The Corinth Canal (Greek: Διώρυγα της Κορίνθου, romanized: Dioryga tis Korinthou) is an artificial waterway in Greece that links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland and effectively making the peninsula an island. The canal, dug at sea level without locks, is 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) long and 24.6 meters (80.7 feet) wide at sea level, making it too narrow for many modern ships. Today, it holds little economic significance and serves mainly as a tourist attraction.
