In the footsteps of St Paul at Corinth
A day built around the apostle’s eighteen months in Corinth. Walk the Lechaion Road he walked, stand at the bema where he answered his accusers, and see the Erastus inscription naming a Corinthian he greets in Romans. Your route also takes in the Corinth Canal and the harbour of Cenchreae, where Paul sailed for Ephesus. Ideal for church groups and readers of the two epistles.
Private vehicle with hotel pick-up in Athens and a driver experienced with faith-based itineraries. Pair it with a reading plan and take your time at each stop.
Plan it: read the Ancient Corinth guide, extend into the Argolid with the Corinth, Epidaurus & Nafplio day, or compare all 19 tours.
