This tour blends biblical history with classical heritage, offering a deeper appreciation of both Paul's legacy and the enduring significance of these iconic locations.
Itinerary
Ancient Agora of Athens
1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedBegin your tour at the Agora, the vibrant heart of ancient Athens. This was the city’s center for politics, commerce, social life, and religion. When the Apostle Paul arrived in Athens, he came here to engage with philosophers and thinkers, sharing the message of Christianity amidst the lively debates and cultural exchanges that defined this historic gathering place.Areopagus
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeJust northwest of the Acropolis stands the Areopagus, a marble hill that served as a judicial and political meeting place in ancient Athens. During Apostle Paul’s visit, it was also a renowned spot for intellectual debate and discussion. The council here, made up of 100 members including philosophers, scholars, and former officials, listened as Paul presented his message, marking a pivotal moment in the spread of Christianity.Agios Dionysios Areopagitis Church
20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeVisit the Church of Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, located in the upscale Kolonaki district on Skoufa Street. Dedicated to Athens’ patron saint, Dionysius was famously converted to Christianity by the Apostle Paul and went on to become the city’s first bishop. The church stands as a tribute to his enduring legacy and the early Christian roots of Athens.Corinth Canal
20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeTravel to the impressive Corinth Canal, an engineering marvel that slices through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. This canal separates the Peloponnese from mainland Greece, effectively turning the peninsula into an island. Though built long after biblical times, the canal highlights the strategic importance of this region.Ancient Port of Kenchreai
20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeContinue to the site of ancient Kechrees, Corinth’s eastern port and a vital hub of trade and travel, especially during the Roman era. Though much of the port lies submerged or in ruins, remnants of Roman engineering are still visible—storerooms, breakwaters, a nymphaeum, sanctuaries, and an early Christian basilica from the 4th century A.D. This is also the very place where the Apostle Paul arrived in 51 A.D., beginning his mission in Corinth. The blend of commercial, religious, and historical layers here paints a vivid picture of a once-thriving harbor town.Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
1 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedStep into the heart of Ancient Corinth, one of the most powerful and prosperous cities of the classical world. For Christian visitors, this site holds special meaning: at the Bema, a raised platform in the center of the city, Paul is believed to have addressed the local community and stood trial before the Roman proconsul. Nearby, the Agora—the bustling marketplace—evokes the everyday life of the Corinthians Paul wrote to. Amid the ruins, the impressive Temple of Apollo stands as a reminder of the city’s long and complex religious history.Archaeological Museum of Corinth
45 minsAdmission Ticket FreeBefore concluding your visit, explore the Museum of Ancient Corinth, established in 1932 to safeguard the remarkable artifacts uncovered from the area. The museum offers rich insights into Corinth’s extensive history, featuring prehistoric treasures and finds from the Sanctuary of Asklepios. Its thoughtfully arranged exhibits illuminate the daily life, religious practices, and artistic achievements of the city, perfectly complementing your experience of the archaeological site.Acrocorinth
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeEnd your tour at Acrocorinth, the imposing acropolis that guarded ancient Corinth through centuries of history. This fortified hilltop was not only a military stronghold but also a religious center, home to the famous Temple of Aphrodite, which was said to have housed up to 1,000 priestesses. As you explore the ruins and take in panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, reflect on the rich blend of faith, power, and culture that shaped the region throughout the ages.
