Apostle Paul's Footsteps: Private Biblical Tour of Ancient Corinth

Trace the sacred journey of the Apostle Paul through the ruins and relics of ancient Corinth

This private biblical tour to ancient Corinth offers a rare opportunity to walk the same paths the Apostle Paul walked nearly two thousand years ago, visiting the very sites where he preached, stood trial, and shaped the course of early Christianity. Designed for travellers with a passion for history, faith, or ancient cultures, the experience unfolds across six immersive hours.

Departing directly from your Athens hotel, you travel along the scenic Saronic Gulf coastline before arriving at one of the most historically layered cities of the ancient world. Corinth was a crossroads of commerce and culture, and its ruins speak volumes about the civilizations that shaped Western history.

The tour weaves together archaeological wonders and biblical narrative, giving context not only to the physical remains but also to the human stories behind them. Each site is presented by a knowledgeable guide who places the ancient world within reach of modern understanding.

Beyond the religious and historical significance, the journey also takes in dramatic scenery, including the Corinthian countryside and the remarkable engineering of the Corinth Canal, making this a well-rounded half-day excursion from Athens.

Tour Highlights

Stand at the Bema, the ancient judgment seat where the Apostle Paul is recorded to have stood trial before the Roman proconsul Gallio.

Explore the Temple of Apollo and the Ancient Agora, enduring symbols of Corinth's importance as a Greek and Roman city.

Marvel at the Corinth Canal, one of the most ambitious engineering projects of the 19th century, cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth.

Discover the Diolkos, an ancient paved trackway used to transport vessels overland across the isthmus, bypassing the treacherous sea route around the Peloponnese.

Ascend Acrocorinth, the fortified acropolis above the city, offering commanding panoramic views and centuries of layered history.

Visit the remains of the ancient port where Paul embarked during his missionary journeys, and the church dedicated to the Apostle in Corinth.

Enjoy a fully private experience with hotel pickup and drop-off, allowing you to set the pace and focus on what matters most to you.

Itinerary

1
Hotel Pickup and Drive Along the Saronic Gulf

Your guide collects you from your Athens hotel and the journey begins with a scenic coastal drive. Informative commentary provides historical and geographical context as you approach the Isthmus of Corinth.

2
Corinth Canal and the Diolkos

Arrive at the Corinth Canal and take in the striking view of ships navigating the narrow channel carved through solid rock. Nearby, the ancient Diolkos trackway offers insight into how classical Greek engineers solved the same logistical challenge two millennia earlier.

3
Temple of Apollo and the Ancient Agora

Walk through the archaeological site of ancient Corinth, pausing at the Temple of Apollo, one of the oldest Doric temples in Greece. The Ancient Agora, once the commercial and civic heart of the city, reveals the scale of Corinthian urban life.

4
The Bema and Biblical Sites

Visit the Bema, the raised platform where Roman officials conducted public hearings and where Paul is said to have faced judgment. Nearby, a church dedicated to the Apostle Paul and the ruins of the ancient port where he departed offer a tangible connection to the New Testament narrative.

5
Acrocorinth

Ascend to Acrocorinth, the acropolis of ancient Corinth, which served as a fortified citadel from antiquity through the medieval period. The views over the Gulf of Corinth and the surrounding plain are among the most impressive in the region.
