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. For those who wish to go deeper inside the archaeological site, a licensed guide upgrade is available. This is not sightseeing. It is a pilgrimage.

Pass by without stopping
Begin your journey at the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow strip of land that has linked mainland Greece to the Peloponnese since antiquity. This historic passage once formed the natural divide between the two regions and carried immense strategic and symbolic significance. In 1893, the construction of the Corinth Canal transformed the landscape, slicing through the 6.3-kilometer-wide isthmus and effectively making the Peloponnese an island. Today, the canal’s towering limestone walls and crystal-blue waters create a breathtaking setting and a memorable introduction to the rich history and engineering legacy of Corinth.

The Diolkos
A short distance from the canal lies the ancient Diolkos, an extraordinary engineering achievement that predates the Corinth Canal by more than two thousand years. This stone-paved trackway enabled ships to be hauled across the Isthmus of Corinth, avoiding the long and hazardous journey around the Peloponnese. Exploring its surviving remains offers a vivid insight into the ingenuity of the ancient Greeks and reveals how crucial this route once was for commerce, communication, and naval power.
10 minutes here
Ancient Port of Kenchreai
Arrive at Cenchreae, the eastern port of ancient Corinth, where the Apostle Paul is traditionally believed to have arrived during his ministry in the region around A.D. 51. It was also from here that he later departed for Ephesus, and the port is closely associated with Phoebe, the prominent Christian woman mentioned in Paul’s Letter to the Romans as a deacon of the church in Cenchreae. Although only limited remains of the ancient harbor survive today, the site retains profound spiritual and historical significance as a place connected to Paul’s mission and the early Christian community.
20 minutes here
Archaeological Museum of Corinth
Complete your experience at the Museum of Ancient Corinth, established in 1932 to preserve the extraordinary artifacts brought to light through decades of excavation. The museum offers valuable insight into the city’s rich and layered past, with notable highlights including prehistoric discoveries and finds from the Sanctuary of Asklepios. Through its thoughtfully arranged galleries, visitors gain a vivid sense of the daily life, spiritual world, and artistic legacy of ancient Corinth, making it an ideal conclusion to your exploration of the archaeological site.
45 minutes here · Admission not included
Explore Acrocorinth, the majestic acropolis that watched over ancient Corinth and served as one of the most important strongholds of the ancient Greek world. Rising dramatically above the city, it was not only a strategic fortress but also a place of deep religious significance in antiquity, most notably as the site associated with the celebrated Temple of Aphrodite. Revered in the ancient world and surrounded by traditions that reflected Corinth’s wealth, power, and reputation, the sanctuary added a powerful sacred dimension to the hill. As you explore the ruins and enjoy sweeping views across the surrounding landscape, you will encounter a monument where military strength, myth, and ancient worship were closely intertwined.
40 minutes here · Admission not included
Apostolos Pavlos Church
Conclude your journey at the modern Church of Saint Paul, located in the heart of ancient Corinth. Inside, an impressive mosaic by the artists Pastorutti and Tsotsonis brings to life the apostle’s mission and presence in the city. As a modern tribute to one of Corinth’s most significant spiritual figures, the church offers a thoughtful connection between the city’s early Christian past and its living heritage today, providing a fitting and reflective conclusion to the tour.

CORINTH - A must visit for all who wish to visit places where Apostle Paul went
I have always wanted to visit Corinth to fulfill my wish to visit places where Apostle Paul went, but this was not part of the itinerary with my tour group to Greece, so I searched on what tours were available.from Athens. I was very happy to find this Corinth tour - the description fit exactly with what I wanted to do. Communication with Yiannis was easy and prompt. I was by myself and while a bit apprehensive at first to go on a solo tour with someone I have not met, as soon as Yiannis and I met at the airport, I felt at ease and safe. Yiannis was very thorough and i learned so much about Apostle Paul from him. (Please refer to the full tour description as I will not repeat it here. ) It felt wonderful while I was walking around Acrocorinth knowing that I was walking on the same area that Apostle Paul was walking more than two housand years ago. Of course i visited the archeological site. Imagine walking in this area - the same area where he preached! Yiannis also drove on the small side roads that Apostle Paul used. There are white concrete post markers that state such. I also took a same day but separate tour of Athens. Yiannis took me to great spots where you can take great photos of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. I decided not to go up to see the Parthenon as my tour group was going to Athens in a few days. He also showed me the beautiful City of Athens and the beautiful buildings of this great City. All in all the tour with Yiannis was a great experience, He was very knowledgeable, polite, and sincere in sharing his faith as well. Thank you Yiannis of Alpha Tours & Transfers!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! It was truly a pleasure meeting you Johnette , and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth cost?
+
Prices start at €59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Biblical Private Tour of Apostle Paul Footsteps in Corinth start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
