St. Paul tour in Corinth

Corinth Canal

Our first stop in the Corinth area is the impressive Canal, which connects the Aegean and the Ionian Sea. We see it from the bridge; we don't get on a boat.

‍

Kenchreai port

This was St Paul's arrival and departure port on the way to Ephesus, where remnants of a 4th-cent. AD basilica are still visible.

‍

Ancient Corinth

Corinth was once completely destroyed by the Roman invaders but now houses one of the oldest Greek temples, as well as a beautiful museum. This is the city that St. Paul visited and wrote some of his famous epistles to. Outside the site there is the ‘Erastus inscription’, related to someone mentioned by Paul.

‍

‍

St Paul's Church (Ancient Corinth)

This modest church will give us the chance to admire some beautiful new mosaics depicting Paul’s life.

‍

St Paul's Cathedral (Modern Corinth)

This grand cathedral inspired by Hagia Sophia in Constantinople was built roughly 100 years ago. It houses chapels dedicated to Timothy and Titus as well as depictions of Priscilla, Aquila and Phoebe, all mentioned in the Epistles.

‍

Lunch

A stop at a Greek seaside restaurant will give us the chance to rest and try traditional dishes like Greek salad, moussakas, tzatziki and plenty of seafood!
