What you'll see and do
Ancient Agora of Athens
The tour starts with a visit to the ancient Athenian Agora. The agora was considered to be the heart and soul of Athens during the city’s peak, having the role of a business, political, and legal center. When Apostle Paul arrived in Athens around 50 A.D., the city was a renowned center of philosophy, culture, and learning — home to the great schools of Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics. His visit is described in detail in the Book of Acts (Acts 17:15–34). As Paul walked through the city, he was struck by the multitude of temples and idols dedicated to various gods. According to the Book of Acts (Acts 17:22–23), Paul saw the altar “to an unknown god” in Athens, likely near or on the slopes of the Areopagus (Mars Hill), or within the Agora. His spirit was moved, and he began to reason daily in the Agora of Athens, the bustling marketplace and heart of civic life, where philosophers, merchants, and citizens gathered to debate new ideas.

Curious about his teaching, some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers invited Paul to present his message at the Areopagus (Mars Hill), a rocky outcrop beneath the Acropolis that served as the meeting place of the ancient city council and a forum for public discourse. This will be the second stop of the tour. Here, Paul delivered one of his most famous sermons — the “Areopagus Address.” Speaking to the Athenians about their altar “to an unknown god,” he declared that this “unknown” God was the one true Creator of heaven and earth. Paul called the people to turn away from idolatry and to seek a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, whom He had raised from the dead. Although his message met with mixed reactions — some mocked, others were curious, and a few became believers — Paul’s speech at the Areopagus remains one of the most powerful examples of Christian engagement with Greek philosophy and culture.

Corinth Canal
Our tour continues with a 45-mile drive on the National Highway towards Peloponnese. On our way, we reach the well-known Corinthian canal or else Isthmus canal that connects the Saronic and the Corinthian Sea.
70 minutes here
Ancient Port of Kenchreai
After a short stop for pictures, we will continue with a ten-minute drive through orange and lemon tree fields arriving at the remains of the ancient port of Kechries - one of the two ports of Corinth, serving the eastern trade routes via the Saronic Gulf. Corinth was a bustling, wealthy city known for its commercial prosperity and moral decadence, located strategically on the Isthmus connecting mainland Greece with the Peloponnese. The port was likely a starting point for Paul when he left Corinth on his third missionary journey heading towards Ephesus (Acts 18:18).
35 minutes here
Apostolos Pavlos Church
From there, we will head to the village of Examilia, about a 10-minute drive, following the route Apostle Paul traveled on foot during his time in Corinth. We will then stop at the small nearby Church of Apostle Paul in Ancient Corinth, before heading to the ancient Corinth archaeological site.
35 minutes here
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
There you will see the Bema (step), which is in the ancient agora of Corinth, from where Apostle Paul conveyed the faith to Jesus to the ancient city in the most emphatic of ways. Paul stayed in Corinth for approximately 18 months during his second missionary journey, around 50–52 AD (Acts 18:1-18). To support himself financially, Paul worked as a tentmaker alongside his ministry (Acts 18:3), a trade he learned earlier. His letters to the Corinthians are among the earliest Christian writings, offering insight into the early church’s life and theology. His famous 1st Epistle to the Corinthians is a text that still inspires people and is among the most beautiful texts of Christianity.

Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient Corinth: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient Corinth cost?
+
Prices start at $564 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 Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient Corinth take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient Corinth worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient 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 Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient Corinth suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient Corinth?
+
Around 0 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Biblical Tour:St. Paul's Journey Athens & Ancient 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.
