Highlights

Corinth Canal - The renowned Corinth Canal, also known as the Isthmus Canal, stretches 4 miles long, stands 80 meters high, and is 27 meters wide. King George initiated the excavations in 1886, and they were finally completed in 1996 after many wars in Greece. Paul passed through here because the canal existed as early as 2700 B.C., even before the excavations. The Romans used to transport boats by rolling them on logs. It’s a fantastic spot for photos and visits.
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Ancient Corinth is the most popular village for the Corinthians and Romans, featuring the Temple of Apollo, the second most famous Temple of Apollo after the one in Delphi. The village of Ancient Corinth is 7,000 years old, and you can visit the Temple of Apollo, the Octavia Temple (Caesar’s mother), the Agora, the Oracle of Corinth, the Ancient Church of Paul, the museum, and many more sites.
Temple of Apollo - The Temple of Apollo, dedicated to the local god of the Corinthians and the Roman god of light and music, is unique because it is the only Temple of Apollo that the sun can see from all angles. Apollo was the god of light and music for the Greeks, Corinthians, and Romans.
Archaeological Museum of Corinth - One of the most famous museums in Greece, it houses many statues and all Roman emperors, including Periander and Gallion. The museum also features 265 amphoras with different styles, such as Greek keys, as amphora production was a main business of the Corinthians.
Acrocorinth - This castle, dating back to the 5th century B.C., stands 530 meters high and served as Caesar’s winter palace. It includes the Temple of Aphrodite, which housed 1,000 of the most beautiful women of Corinth, and the business of Priscilla and Aquila, the tentmakers, was located outside. It is the largest castle in Europe, well-known in Roman times for its amazing views. Caesar could watch the Corinth Canal and the boats from there.
Ancient Port of Kenchreai - In 51 A.D., Paul found Priscilla and Aquila making tents here. He stayed overnight and you can see the very first Christian church. He departed from here to go to Ephesus after 16 months.
