Description
This amazing half day tour to Ancient Corinth will show you the famous Corinth Canal, the town of Corinth with its ancient market place and Apollo's Temple.
Starting from Athens we drive by bus westwards along the scenic coast, until we reach the Corinth Canal with its breathtaking views (short stop).
Shortly thereafter we reach the ancient town of Corinth (visit) where St. Paul lived and preached for two years.
Back in the ancient times, Corinth was amongst the richest cities and this is quite evident by its remains, including the huge Agora (market place) and Apollo’s Temple from the 6th century B.C. We will also do a brief stop at the site of the ancient port of Kechreai where St. Paul disembarked.
Finally, return to Athens in time for lunch.
