Overview

Embark on an extraordinary Greek odyssey with our exclusive journey through time! Marvel at the 19th-century engineering marvel—the canal slicing through the isthmus, connecting mainland Greece to the Peloponnese in 1893.
Continue to ancient Corinth, a once-thriving city beneath the imposing Acrocorinth. Explore the ancient Temple of Apollo, a testament to the 6th century BC. Witness Corinth's resilience, from Roman destruction in 146 BC to its rebirth as a Roman colony under Julius Caesar a century later.
Unveil the secrets of the Roman city's ruins—explore the forum, stand on St Paul's bema, and wander the Lechaion road to the Corinthian Gulf's port. Discover the Peirene Fountain and an array of artifacts at the local museum.
This tour is a captivating journey, tailored for those captivated by St Paul's footsteps. Immerse yourself in history, marvel at ancient wonders, and relish the echoes of past civilizations.
