Rejseplan
Tag denne antik halvturd i Corinth og besøg en af de største byer i antikken. Forlad Athen og kør sydvest, indtil vi når Korinthkanalen, der forbinder Det Ægæiske Hav med Det Joniske Hav (kort stop). Den rute, vi følger, blev kaldt den hellige måde, fordi det var den rute, der blev taget af en procession, der fejrede de Eleusinske mysterier, var initiativer, der hvert år blev afholdt for kulturen Demeter og Pershone baseret på Eleusis i det gamle Grækenland. På fredage, undervejs, stopper vi ved klostret Daphni, et byzantinsk kloster fra det 11. århundrede, der er opført som verdensarvsted sammen med klostre Hosios Loukas og Nea Moni fra Chios. Kirkens indre er dekoreret med fremragende mosaikker, et unikt, fint eksempel på den klassiske idealisme i middelbysantinsk kunst. De overfyldte scener i mosaikkerne fortæller scener fra Kristi og Jomfruens liv.
Kort efter besøget ved Korinth-kanalen når vi den gamle by Korinth, hvor Sankt Paulus boede og prædikede i to år (ApG 18:1-18). Resterne af byen, som omfatter Agora (markedsplads) og Apollos tempel (6. århundrede f.v.t.) viser tydeligt, hvor rigt og vigtigt Korinth var i oldtiden. Besøg ruinerne af den antikke by, hvor Paulus arbejdede med Aquila og Priscilla, se resterne af butikkerne fra det første århundrede, Agoraen, hvor Pauls retssag af Gallio fandt sted, Peirene-fontænen og et af de mest fremragende monumenter fra før-romersk periode, Apollons tempel. Retur til Athen i tide til frokost.

Very Good tour of Ancient Corinth and surrounding sites. The tour bus transfer was a little goofy, we thought: Getting picked up at one location with a different bus company, then getting transferred to our assigned tour group. We just went on faith that they would provide what we paid for. They did. Sophia was an EXCELLENT guide: Fun, Informative, very knowledgeable! She took care of us all the way through. We enjoyed the trip and the tours.
Absolutely fantastic tour of Corinth. Georgina was excellent and extremely knowledgeable about Corinth and its history. As we left Athens, she pointed out various historic sites and provided historical commentary throughout the drive. We stopped first at the Corinth Canal for a washroom/coffee break and had time to walk out the path to see the canal and take pictures. The itinerary online states: "On Fridays, along the way, we stop at the Monastery of Daphni" and that the stop would be 30 minutes. Our tour was on a Friday but when we asked Georgina, she seemed to not know anything about stopping there. Once we arrived in Corinth, she gave us a great and informative tour of the little museum before taking us out to the archaeological site. Her tour of the site was excellent - full of information with special attention to the Apostle Paul's ministry in Corinth. Georgina gave us the opportunity to ask questions and take lots of photos. We would have liked a bit more time on the site, but we completely understood that she had to keep the tour to four hours and get everyone back to Athens on time - we were just enjoying the site and her expertise so much that we would have really liked it to last longer. Georgina was outstanding and our driver, Nikos (who was excellent) said he always learns something new when he drives for her tours.
It was a very wonderful experience! I’d say the half-day was a great amount of time - long enough to see the several stops and short enough to still be able to do other things that day. Once there, it was essentially all walking so I feel like a full 8 hour trip could have been a little tiring for some. The tour guide, George, was very friendly and gave great information throughout the trip. At the sites it was incredible to know where we were standing. Very worthwhile trip!
Dora was an amazing tour guide and I learned so much from her! The Acropolis and Parthenon were even more beautiful up close…
Katia did a great job of explaining the history behind Corinth. A beautiful part of the tour of ancient Corinth was hearing her ready 1 Corinthians 13 - very moving! She is an excellent guide.
Small group, plenty to see, good guide presentation, comfortable transportation, good integration of Biblical record
