Description
Once a crossroads of civilization, this legendary city was among the wealthiest and most influential of ancient Greece, a place where gods were worshipped, gladiators fought, and merchants from all over the world bartered for treasures.

Our journey begins at the Ancient Town of Corinth, where the ruins of temples, markets, and grand public buildings whisper the stories of a once-thriving metropolis. As we walk its ancient roads, we come face-to-face with the mighty Temple of Apollo, one of the oldest Doric temples in Greece, standing tall against the test of time. Built in the 6th century BC, it was a beacon of Corinthian power, dedicated to the god of prophecy, music, and healing. Nearby, the remains of the Agora—the bustling heart of ancient Corinth—give us a glimpse into daily life, where traders, philosophers, and politicians once debated and conducted business.

But Corinth wasn’t just known for its wealth and wisdom—it was also a city of passion and intrigue. The Apostle Paul himself walked these streets, preaching his message to the Corinthians, forever weaving this city into the fabric of early Christianity.

Next, we ascend to the Castle of Acrocorinth, an awe-inspiring fortress that has guarded the city for centuries. Perched high on a rocky hill, this ancient acropolis offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Corinthian Gulf and beyond. Its walls, built and rebuilt by Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans, tell the tale of a site that has witnessed the rise and fall of empires. Wandering through its gates and towers, you can almost hear the echoes of warriors defending its mighty walls.

With its rich history, mythological roots, and stunning landscapes, Corinth is a city where the past comes alive. This tour is a journey through time, from the grandeur of Apollo’s temple to the formidable heights of Acrocorinth, offering a perfect blend of archaeology, legend, and adventure.
