Reisroute
Ophalen bij het door jou gekozen hotel, Airbnb of appartement in Athene. Rit naar Isthmus Corinth Canal... De toegangspoort tot de Peloponnesos
Bezoek het landengtekanaal, een van de belangrijkste projecten uit de 19e eeuw, een technisch meesterwerk dat een katalysatorrol speelde voor de mediterrane handel.
Bezoek het oude Diolkos - ontdek de oude kalkstenen wegen waar boottrailers, slaven, ossen en andere dieren werden gebruikt om boten van de Golf van Korinthe naar de Saronische zee te tillen die meer dan 270 Griekse koloniën beheerste. Alle mediterrane kuststeden waren tegenwoordig ooit Grieks. Dit bracht de geografische en geopolitieke dominantie van Korinthe met zich mee en speelde een katalysatorrol in de reden waarom de apostel Paulus ervoor koos om 18 maanden in Korinthe te blijven en waarom hij onvermurwbaar was in het vestigen van zijn bediening daar.
Bezoek Acrocorinth, de akropolis van het oude Korinthe, een monolithische rots 550 meter boven de zeespiegel met 7,9 kilometer aan muren, een donjon en drie poorten. Een van de meest indrukwekkende en dominante natuurlijke verdedigingswerken van vandaag. Overblijfselen van kerken, moskeeën, huizen en reservoirs, samen met de tempel van Aphrodite die er ooit stond, kunnen worden gewaardeerd. Hier graasde Pegasus, het gevleugelde paard. Vanaf hier bewonderen we ook de Frankische toren, een adembenemend uitzicht op de vallei beneden, de Korinthische en Saronische zee. Bezoek de Hadgimoustafa-bron: een fontein gebouwd tijdens het Ottomaanse rijk in 1555 na Christus. Stromend water uit de bron van Upper Pieriene werd per ongeluk ontdekt toen Pegasus zijn hoef raakte toen hij probeerde weg te vliegen van Velerefonte en de godin Athena stroomt nog steeds.
Citae Madre - De moeder van alle steden! Bezoek de Neo-Byzantijnse kerk van de Maagd Maria en bewonder de marmeren plaquette met de tekst 'De hymnen van de liefde', Eerste Korintiërs 13 1:8 en 'De grootste hiervan is liefde', die te vinden is in Eerste Korintiërs 13:13. Bezoek de Neo Byzantijnse kerk gewijd aan de apostel Paulus die het 'visioen van de apostel Paulus' en het leven van Paulus in Korinthe analyseert. Een prachtig mozaïek van Vlasis Tsotsonis met een afbeelding van Saulus op weg naar Damascus in 34 na Christus om de christenen te vervolgen en terug te brengen naar Jeruzalem. de stem en verblind door het licht bespreken we zijn overgang zijn doop door Ananias en begrijpen zijn ontberingen in de stad Korinthe inclusief zijn 'oordeel' door Gallio Handelingen 9 7:9 HANDELINGEN 9 10:19 HANDELINGEN 18 12:17
Bezoek het Archeologisch Museum: met een grote collectie artefacten van de lokale vindplaats en van kleinere locaties in het aangrenzende gebied waarderen we de Griekse, Romeinse, Byzantijnse en Ottomaanse wereld. Bezoek de archeologische vindplaats: Tempel van Apollo - een van de vroegste Dorische tempels op de Peloponnesos en het Griekse vasteland met Dorische monolithische zuilen, zeldzaam in de antieke wereld, gebouwd rond 560 v.Chr. De Romeinse Agora, bestaande uit centrale winkels, een van de beste voorbeelden van een Romeinse marktplaats. Kleine tempels en altaren, Romeinse gebouwen, het oude amfitheater, het Romeinse Odeon, de Glaufkus-fontein, de Romeinse baden, de Lechaion-weg, het Romeinse forum en het beroemde podium of Bema vanwaar de apostel Paulus werd 'beoordeeld' en officieel werd gepresenteerd voor de eerste keer voor de Grieken en Romeinen als Romeins staatsburger. Het is op dit podium dat hij het geloof predikte. HANDELINGEN 18 12:17
Geniet van een authentieke lunch in dorpsstijl in het oude Korinthe of van een heerlijke lunch aan zee in de Thermen van Helena van Troje.
Bezoek de oude haven van Kenchreai of Kenchreae aan de Saronische zee, een van de twee havens van de stadstaat Korinthe in het binnenland. In de voetsporen van de apostel Paulus en zijn uittocht uit Korinthe in 53 na Christus varend naar Efeze met Aquila en Prescila bespreken we de Nazireeërgelofte – het afknippen van het haar AC 18:18.

Our driver Peter was very informative and friendly. We learned a lot of Corinth’s history that made me proud as a Greek American. I think many people will enjoy this tour.
This experience is worth every penny. What a blessing it was to have a day with Yannis. We deeply appreciate him sharing his wealth of knowledge with us. Each stop was informative and meaningful. Yannis went above and beyond to give us the very best experience we could possibly have. He gave us a box of cookies in the morning to snack on throughout the day while driving and he provided plenty of ice-cold water throughout the day. He even bought our daughter a box of cookies to celebrate her birthday, which was the day after our tour. It was the kindest gesture. If you have any interest in Paul, Biblical history, cultural history, or Greek mythology, you should take this tour. Yannis is an expert with a vast amount of knowledge and he is enjoyable to listen to because it is evident he is passionate about sharing this history with others.
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Ancient Greece Tours, and our guide, Tas, made the day unforgettable. His passion for Greek history, archaeology, and the life of the Apostle Paul brought every stop to life. He didn’t just show us the sites—he helped us understand their historical, cultural, and biblical significance in a way that was engaging, insightful, and easy to follow. Walking in the footsteps of Paul through Athens, Corinth, and Cenchreae made Scripture come alive in ways we had never experienced before. Tas’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling transformed what could have been a sightseeing tour into one of the most meaningful experiences of our trip. If you’re looking for a tour that is historically rich, biblically insightful, and deeply inspiring, we cannot recommend Ancient Greece Tours and Tas highly enough. It was truly one of the highlights of our time in Greece, and a day we’ll never forget.
Was not prepared for the impact of this incredible tour that Tas provided for us. My wife and I wanted to see ancient Corinth based on the recent study of Acts in the Bible. We had his undivided attention as it was just the 2 of us. Tas was incredible in providing so much detail for the surrounding area. So much rich history. Tas always made sure we were comfortable. Did not let an opportunity go by to share knowledge on something significant. The length of the tour was perfect and it covered so much. If you are looking for a very good “class” on ancient Corinth, for the money, this can’t be beat.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted that your visit to Ancient Corinth was such a meaningful experience, especially in the context of your study of the Book of Acts. Tas will be thrilled to know his knowledge, passion, and personal attention made such a lasting impression. Thank you for choosing to tour with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Greece for another unforgettable journey.
We had a wonderful time on our tour of Corinth. Our driver and guide Bill picked our family up at our hotel near downtown and drove us to see the Corinth canal. A marvelous feat of engineering! We then went to visit the archeological site in Corinth and met up with our guide Vera (arranged for an additional fee, but well worth it). She gave us the history of the site, including the experience of the apostle Paul and the significance of his ministry there for the spread of Christianity. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the site much more understandable than simply wandering around the museum and the grounds by ourselves. After this, we went to the. According and climbed to the top to take in the view. Somewhat exhausting but worth it in the end! We then had the opportunity to have a late lunch to rest and cool off. Then, on the drive back, Bill took us to the port where the apostle Paul sailed for Ephesus. It was pretty amazing to stand in the ruins of a port where Paul caught a boat 2000 years ago we then headed back to the hotel with plenty of time to get dinner. All in all, a wonderful experience!
This is a very simple rating. Absolutely a 5 star for our driver Peter. The tour was titled a ‘Private Biblical tour Ancient Corinth and Isthmus canal’. Peter is very knowledgeable of Apostle Paul’s biblical presence in Corinth and the locations he actually walked on. Quite humbling to think you stood where Paul stood so long ago. The Corinth canal is an engineering marvel. Just wait until you hear about how vessels were transported across the land prior to the canal. Many stops with educational discussions but the highlight was the Corinth acropolis. Massive. Much larger than Athens. And a super museum at its base. If you plan to hike up the acropolis be sure to wear proper walking footwear. The rocks are extremely slippery even in dry conditions. To end the day with an afternoon lunch, we dined on the rooftop of Gemelos Tavern. The pork gyro meat is to die for. No joke. We had traditional Greek salad. So much better than the states. The view of the acropolis is amazing and will be remembered forever. Once again, highly recommend this tour, and Peter is fantastic.
Our guide, Tas, made this trip so memorable and enjoyable. He picked us up on time from our hotel, provided plenty of cold water and snacks, made sure we were comfortable and conversed with us the whole time. He did not set a time limit on the tour, which lasted nearly 10 hours. Tas is very knowledgeable about Corinth as he actually lives nearby and within sight of one of the stops in Cenchrae. Tas is also well versed in the Bible as each location he took us to he gave us the Biblical references of what took place there. He designs the tour to accommodate both those of the Christian faith as well as the non believer. As a Christian, he was able to answer other questions with deeper meaning and discussion as they were asked from us. He took us to about 10 places, including the canal and gave us detailed information at each about what happened, who was there, the meaning, and allowed for questions. One nice touch is he took pictures of us at each stop and sent them to us a day after the tour was complete with references and extra detail for further research. I am unsure if he does this for every tour, but he gave us a gift, a book about Paul and Corinth at the end of the tour. There was not a single dull moment and the conversation with him was truly amazing. I could talk to Tas all week and not get bored. He is a very personable individual and actually cares that you have an enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend Tas and this tour to anyone considering it. It is defiantly worth it.

We had a wonderful day with Peter. He was friendly and thoughtful in taking care of us. We were picked up right on time just outside our AirBNB and the drive to Corinth was filled with a little friendly chit chat and a lot of very interesting history. Getting the overview of the history on the way to the various stops was a great set up to seeing the sights. Having a guide definitely helped us appreciate and understand what we were seeing. We felt at ease, not rushed, and taken care of all day. Thank you for a memorable experience.
Dear Paul, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5* review and for sharing your experience. We are delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable and memorable day exploring Corinth with Peter. He takes great pride in sharing Greece's rich history while ensuring that every guest feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for throughout the journey. We're especially pleased that the historical insights along the drive helped bring the sites to life and enhanced your appreciation of what you were seeing. Your kind words mean a great deal to us, and we will be sure to share them with Peter. Thank you for choosing Ancient Greece Tours. We hope to welcome you back to Greece again in the future. Best regards from Athens! George & the Ancient Greece Tours Team
From Athens, it was a little over an hour drive. Yannis was the tour leader. He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much. We saw amazing history. Information on Paul and why he spent his time in Corinth. Corinth is such a beautiful place with such importance in history. We could not imagine a better guide than Yannis, truly amazing and highly recommended!
