You will visit the sacred grounds of the Acropolis, including the historic Areopagus Hill—also known as Mars Hill—where the Apostle Paul delivered one of his most powerful and moving sermons. Standing before the council of the Athenians, he spoke about the “Unknown God,” challenging the prevailing beliefs of the time and introducing the message of Christianity to the intellectual heart of the ancient world. This stop offers a profound spiritual and historical experience, connecting you directly to the footsteps of St. Paul and the early days of the Christian faith.
Corinth Canal
We will stop at the impressive Corinth Canal, a 19th-century engineering marvel that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf, separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese. Though completed in modern times, the idea dates back over 2,000 years to Periander, ruler of ancient Corinth, who first envisioned a shortcut for ships. Before its construction, vessels had to sail an extra 185 nautical miles around the Peloponnese. The canal stands today as a symbol of Corinth’s historical importance and strategic significance during Paul’s time.

This tour fully met our expectations. Our driver was on time, and was very professional and flexible. As we had already seen the Parthenon and Mars Hill, he skipped that and we used the time for things in Corinth that we had not seen. He gave us great information along the way, and showed a genuine interest in making sure we saw all of the important places.

Alex was a wonderful tour guide and was very helpful and informative about the whole tour. We were able to go at our own pace and never felt rushed. Alex helped us make the most out of our short stay in Athens.

We were able to ser al the places listed but we felt very rushed. The experience description said it would take 8 hours approximately. But by hour 6 we were back home. We like to take our time as this is super important to us. But the guide kept directing my husband to follow him along. That pace didn’t work for us
