Beskrivning

In the footsteps of Apostle Paul: Athens’ Ancient Agora & Areopagus, Corinth Canal, Diolkos, Ancient Corinth and museum, Acrocorinth, and the port of Cenchreae.
Begin your journey in Athens, the intellectual and philosophical heart of the ancient world. Explore the Ancient Agora, where the Apostle Paul preached to the Athenians, engaging with philosophers and citizens in the very center of civic and spiritual life.

Continue to the Areopagus (Mars Hill), where Paul was brought for judgment and delivered his famous sermon about the “Unknown God.” It is here that he met Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, one of his first and most important converts.

As the journey continues, gain a deeper understanding of Ancient Greek history and culture, discovering how philosophy, politics, and commerce shaped the Mediterranean world. This historical context explains why Ancient Corinth became one of the largest, wealthiest, and most influential cities of antiquity—a fact that drew the Apostle Paul there to teach Christianity in a city known for both its prosperity and moral challenges.

Make meaningful stops at the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land bridge connecting mainland Greece with the Peloponnese, and the Diolkos, the ancient stone-paved road used to transport ships overland, highlighting Corinth’s strategic and economic importance.

Explore Ancient Corinth, including its archaeological site and museum, where artifacts bring to life the city Paul knew and the community to whom he addressed his Epistles.

Continue to Acrocorinth, the impressive Acropolis of Corinth, offering breathtaking views and a powerful sense of history. Here stood the Temple of Aphrodite, symbolizing the religious and social contrasts that made Paul’s mission both challenging and significant.

Conclude your tour at the ancient port of Cenchreae (Kechries), from where the Apostle Paul departed after facing persecution by the Corinthians. This final stop offers a reflective moment, connecting you with Paul’s missionary journeys and the spread of Christianity across the Mediterranean world.
