In this tour, we follow exactly the footsteps of Saint Paul. We'll start from Athens by driving via the coastal highway to Peloponnese. The first stop is the famous Canal of Corinth which connects the Ionian sea with the Aegean sea. We’ll make a stop there about 30 minutes to look at the canal from the bridge and if we are lucky we might see a ship going through the isthmus. Then we are going to Kechries the old port of Ancient Corinth where Saint Paul embarked on his Journey to Ephesos. Then to Ancient Corinth where Saint Paul spent two years from 51AD to 53AD.He worked as tend maker. You will visit the museum, the temple of Apollo from 540BC, The Theater, the Roman Odeon, and the Vima (step) from where St. Paul preached the Corinthians in Christianity and finally the Lechaion street(the main shopping road).
