Two thousand years ago, Paul the Apostle walked into Corinth — one of the most powerful and morally complex cities of the Roman world — and stayed for eighteen months. He wrote two of his most important letters here. He stood before the Roman magistrate at the Bema. He sailed from the port of Cenchreae toward Syria, carrying a faith that would change the world. This private tour follows that same journey with the reverence it deserves. From Athens, you will travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to the Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, Isthmia, and Cenchreae — the very port from which Paul departed. At each site, your driver will guide you through the biblical and historical context of what you are seeing.

Two thousand years ago, Apostle Paul walked these same stones. Corinth was one of the most vibrant—and sinful—cities of the ancient world. It was here that Paul spent 18 months, preached in the synagogue, and stood before the Roman proconsul Gallio at the very Bema you will see today. The letters he wrote from and to this city—1st and 2nd Corinthians—are among the most powerful in the New Testament. This private tour from Athens brings Scripture to life. Walk through the Ancient Agora where Paul debated with Greeks and Jews, stand at the Bema of Acts 18, and explore the Archaeological Museum where artifacts from Paul's era tell the story of a city transformed by faith.
