What's included in Biblical Tour Letters to The Corinthians - St Paul’s Footsteps
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
You will walk through the sacred grounds of the Acropolis, with a special stop at Areopagus Hill—also known as Mars Hill—where Apostle Paul delivered one of his most impactful sermons. Addressing the council of Athens, he boldly spoke of the “Unknown God,” challenging the city's prevailing beliefs and introducing the message of Christianity to the philosophical heart of the ancient world. This stop offers a deeply meaningful moment, blending spiritual reflection and historical insight, as you stand where Paul first brought the Gospel to Athens.
Corinth Canal
Setting off from Athens, your morning begins with the impressive feat of engineering that separates the Peloponnese from the mainland, the Corinth Canal. From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth's isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal. The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for many modern ships. From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth's isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal.
The Diolkos
Dating back to ancient times, this remarkable feat of engineering—the Diolkos—enabled ships to be transported overland across the Isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas long before the canal was built. As you explore the remnants of this ancient roadway, you can envision the lively flow of merchants, sailors, and travelers—perhaps even some whom St. Paul encountered during his time in Corinth. With its deep historical roots and strategic role in trade, the Diolkos offers a powerful, tangible connection to the maritime world of Paul’s era, inviting visitors to experience a vital piece of the ancient Mediterranean landscape.
