Day 3/- Friday 18th Oct.
PAUL’S CORINTH
West to the Peloponnese peninsula, visiting:
Corinth Canal -
An ancient marvel considered to be one of the greatest engineering achievements of its
time. Much of the wealth of Corinth is believed to have come from the high duties paid
by merchants in order to gain access to “Diolkos,” a stone-paved road that allowed
vessels – greased with animal fat and mounted on wheeled carriages – to be dragged
overland from the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf.
CORINTH CANAL

Paul’s Corinth -
Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a
population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Apostle Paul first visited the city in AD 49/50
and resided for 18 Months. He later wrote two Epistles to the church. The site includes
the Temple of Apollo, a ‘Bema Seat’, The Acrocorinth and Stoa.
CORINTH

Paul’s Cenchrea -
A small village today with a tranquil setting on the Saronic Gulf. Before sailing to Syria,
Paul shaved his head, and visited the church here. He later commended Phoebe who
was a Deacon writing, “she has been the benefactor of many people, including me.”
