Biblical Full Day Private Shore Excursion Athens-Corinth

Itinerary
Acropolis
Admission not included120 min
This tour will take you to all the biblical sites of Athens.
During your Acropolis visit (approx. 2 hrs) you will see:
- Propylaea,
- The Parthenon
- Erechtheion
- The Temple of Athena Nike,
Looking down from the Acropolis you'll see the two ancient theaters in its shadow:
- The Theater of Dionysus , the oldest Greek theater (built in the 5th century BC),
- Odeon of Herod Atticus, erected in AD 161. The site hosts performances for the summer Athens Festival.
The next step will be the "Mars Hill", where Apostle Paul proclaimed the word of the Christian God to the Athenian philosophers
Ancient Agora of Athens
Admission not included120 min
The ancient Agora which was the heart of Athens in antiquity and the meeting point of Saint Paul with the first followers of Christianity in Athens..
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
Admission not included120 min
Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop. We continue our day trip from Athens to ancient Corinth. Ancient Corinth was one of the most important cities of ancient Greece. It was this megalopolis where the Apostle Paul arrived, worked and established a prosperous church, and later on he wrote two of his epistles, which are now part of the New Testament. We will visit the ruins of the old city where St. Paul worked
You will admire also the Temple of Apollo, that is one of the oldest temples in Greece dating back to the 6th century B.C.
Corinth Canal
10 min
Depart from and drive along the coast line until we reach the Corinth Canal where we will make a brief stop.
The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.
ls considered one of the great engineering accomplishments of Greece.
The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base. The canal was constructed from 1880 to 1893, however, it is something that shipowners and captains had dreamed about for some 2000 years before it became a reality.
10 min
The Areopagus, like most city-state institutions, continued to function in Roman times, and it was then that the Apostle Paul delivered his famous speech about the identity of "the Unknown God." According to the biblical account (Acts 17):

Highly recommend this outstanding tour!
We had an outstanding experience on our Biblical tour of Athens and Corinth. This was truly a 5-star tour from beginning to end, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a personal, meaningful, and memorable experience.
Our driver was excellent. He made sure we were picked up and dropped off smoothly, always had bottled water readily available when we needed it, and we needed it a lot because it was very, very hot. He was also a very safe driver, and throughout the day he added meaningful insight about the areas we were driving through, which made the travel time between stops feel valuable and interesting.
Our tour guide was also exceptional. He was an expert, certified archaeologist, and his knowledge brought every stop to life. He shared amazing details at each location and helped us better understand the Biblical, historical, and archaeological significance of what we were seeing. He was also very mindful of the extreme heat and did his best to find shade whenever possible while still giving us a full and meaningful explanation at each stop.
For anyone coming in late June or early July, be prepared for the heat. This is normal for the area, but it is intense. We brought electric fans and an umbrella for shade from the sun, and both made a big difference. Water, hats, sunscreen, and anything that helps keep you cool are very important.
One thing to be aware of is that pickpockets are very real in busy tourist areas. We had a bracelet that we had just purchased in Corfu stolen off our daughter’s arm while crossing a busy street near the Olympic Stadium. Even with that unfortunate situation, our driver and guide did everything they could to make us feel safe and supported. At no point did we feel unsafe with them or on the tour. It is simply a reality around very crowded tourist spots in the Mediterranean, and visitors should be careful and aware.
Overall, we cannot say enough good things about this service, our driver, our guide, and the tour itself. It was informative, personal, meaningful, and very well handled from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens and Corinth who wants a deeper Biblical and historical experience.

Leaving more blessed than when I got to Athens!
Our driver, Chris, was AMAZING! We had the absolute best day in Corinth and Athens. Chris was extremely knowledgeable in a wide variety of topics, whether ancient or modern. He was also quite flexible and not nearly as regimented as a lot of the tours. I cannot recommend this tour enough and if you get Chris you’ll be immeasurably blessed. 😀

Walking Where Paul Walked
We were very pleased with the tour. Maria was an excellent guide, and our driver was also great. Walking where Paul the Apostle walked and preached had special meaning to our family. The experience allowed us to better envision the words in biblical scriptures.

Wonderful Biblical tour of Athens and Corinth…
Our driver was Panos and he was a rockstar…love that guy! Our guide was Dena and her level of knowledge was phenomenal…what a sweetheart! We saw Corinth where the apostle Paul addressed the crowd at Corinth as well as the Acropolis and the Agora in Athens. We also saw Mars Hill and the Corinth canal. Finished the day with an amazing gyro! These guys crushed it!! Highly recommend!

Great experience
Dionisis took great care of my husband and I. He's a great, experienced driver - which is very necessary in Athens. We felt safe and comfortable. He arranged a fantastic tour guide for us as well. As a bonus, we had one of our best gyros of our trip from his direct recommendation!
