The ‘rock of Ares’ (god of war) near the Acropolis is where Paul preached during his visit in Athens before heading to Corinth. It's the one that is wrongfully known as 'Mars Hill'.
Our first stop in the Corinth area is the impressive Canal, which connects the Aegean and the Ionian Sea.
This was St Paul's arrival and departure port on the way to Ephesus, where remnants of a 4th-cent. AD basilica are still visible.
Corinth was once completely destroyed by the Roman invaders but now houses one of the oldest Greek temples, as well as a beautiful museum. This is the city that St. Paul visited and wrote some of his famous epistles to. We will also see the ‘Erastus inscription’, related to a person mentioned by Paul.
This modest church will give us the chance to admire some beautiful new mosaics depicting Paul’s life.
This grand cathedral inspired by Hagia Sophia in Constantinople was built roughly 100 years ago. It houses chapels dedicated to Timothy and Titus as well as depictions of Priscilla, Aquila and Phoebe, all mentioned in the Epistles.
A stop at a Greek seaside restaurant will give us the chance to rest and try traditional dishes like Greek salad, moussakas, tzatziki and plenty of seafood!
