Description
 

Discover the rich history of ancient Greece and the legacy of Saint Paul on this private sightseeing experience from Piraeus.

Your tour includes a private guide and private transportation at your disposal for up to six hours, allowing you to explore some of the most significant landmarks in the Corinth region in comfort.

Begin with a scenic drive to Ancient Kechries, where you will view the site from the outside. Once the eastern harbor of ancient Corinth, this historic location is closely associated with the Apostle Paul's missionary journeys and played an important role in ancient trade.

Continue to Acrocorinth, the magnificent hilltop fortress that has stood guard over Corinth for centuries. Overlooking the surrounding countryside, this impressive citadel offers spectacular panoramic views while showcasing layers of Greek, Roman, Byzantine, and Venetian history.

Following your visit, enjoy lunch at Marinos Restaurant, conveniently located just steps from the archaeological site. The restaurant is a favorite for visitors to Corinth, consistently receiving excellent reviews for its welcoming atmosphere and delicious local cuisine.

Next, stop at the famous Corinth Canal, an engineering masterpiece that connects the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Take in the dramatic views from above and capture memorable photos of this remarkable waterway.

On the return to Athens, visit the Apostle Paul's Sidewalk near Areopagus Hill, where Saint Paul is believed to have delivered his renowned sermon to the Athenians. This meaningful stop provides a memorable conclusion to your journey through Greece's ancient and early Christian history.

Please note: On May 2, 2027, all archaeological sites in Greece will be closed in observance of Greek Orthodox Easter. While interior visits will not be possible, your guide will provide historical commentary, and you will still enjoy exterior views of the sites and all other scheduled stops.
