Starting with a scenic drive along the coast, participants will have the opportunity to view charming Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis, known for the historic naval battle between the Athenians and Persians. The first stop is the Corinth Canal, which opened in 1892, separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece and linking the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. Visitors can walk across a pedestrian bridge to admire the canal up close and, on certain days, try bungee jumping if they are adventurous.

It is where Apostle Paul preached Christianity, faced judgment by the tribunal in the Agora, and established one of the most organized Christian churches of the era.

Constructed around 560 B.C.E. from local monolithic limestone atop a striking rocky hill north of Acrocorinth, the Archaic temple symbolized the growth and prosperity of the Greek city of Corinth.
