- Isthmus of Corinth - The adventure starts at the renowned Isthmus of Corinth, a slender land bridge that has linked the Peloponnese to mainland Greece for thousands of years. The Corinth Canal, an impressive 19th-century engineering achievement, slices through the rock to provide a shortcut for maritime trade. The breathtaking views and historical significance of this location offer a perfect beginning to the journey.
- The Diolkos - Following this is the Diolkos, an ancient stone-paved road that enabled ships to be moved overland across the Isthmus. This engineering marvel was vital to Corinth’s maritime supremacy and stands as a testament to the brilliance of ancient times.
- Ancient Port of Kenchreai - The eastern port of Kenchreai, a major commercial center during the Roman period, is the next stop. This historic site is where Apostle Paul arrived in 53 A.D. Today, the remains of Roman harbor facilities, temples, and early Christian structures vividly illustrate the vibrant history of ancient Corinth.
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Glauke Fountain
The tour proceeds to the Glauke Fountain, carved into the hillside and rich in mythological importance. Legend has it that Glauke, the daughter of King Creon, sought refuge here after being poisoned by Medea. This site adds a mythical dimension to the historical narrative of Corinth.
Paul’s Column in the Roman Forum
The Bema, an elevated platform in the Roman Forum, is the next highlight. This is where Apostle Paul delivered his teachings in a city dominated by pagan traditions. The site later became a Christian church, embodying the cultural and religious transformations of the time.
- Temple of Apollo - The Temple of Apollo, one of the oldest Doric temples in the Peloponnese, exemplifies the grandeur of ancient Greece. Its towering columns and commanding presence underscore the city’s wealth and religious traditions. This stop provides insight into the cultural backdrop Apostle Paul encountered during his mission.
- Temple of Apollo - The Bema of Apostle Paul in Ancient Corinth is a significant historical and religious site. This elevated platform in the Agora served as a place for public addresses and legal rulings. During the Roman period, it functioned as a tribunal where governors issued judgments.
According to tradition, Paul the Apostle was brought before Gallio, the Roman proconsul, around 51 AD. Accused of spreading new religious teachings, Paul was dismissed by Gallio, allowing him to continue his mission. This event, recorded in Acts 18:12-17, marks Corinth as a key site in early Christian history.
Today, the Bema is both an archaeological and spiritual landmark, drawing visitors seeking connection to the biblical narrative. Modern mosaics depicting Paul’s trial and journey enhance the atmosphere, making it a profound site of reflection within the ancient ruins of Corinth.
- Archaeological Museum of Corinth - The Archaeological Museum of Corinth presents an extensive collection of artifacts, from prehistoric relics to Roman-era treasures. Statues, pottery, and items from the Sanctuary of Asklepios are displayed in a beautifully curated space, offering a glimpse into Corinth’s rich history.
- Akrokorinthos - The ancient fortified acropolis of Acrocorinth offers stunning views and layers of history. Visitors encounter ruins from classical Greece alongside Byzantine, Frankish, and Ottoman fortifications, highlighting the city’s enduring significance.
- Apostolos Pavlos Church - The journey concludes at the Apostle Paul Church, a three-aisled basilica built in 1936 on the site of an earlier church established by Apostle Paul. This sacred space commemorates Paul’s profound influence on Corinth and the early spread of Christianity.
