What is included in the EUR 320 price?

The private tour includes ground transport, a knowledgeable guide, and access to Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth sites. Confirm whether entrance fees are pre-paid or collected on-site at booking.

How far is Corinth from Athens?

Ancient Corinth is approximately 80–90 km (50–55 miles) from central Athens, roughly 1.5 hours by car via the modern town of Corinth and the Corinth Canal crossing.

Can I customise the tour itinerary?

Yes, private tours typically allow flexibility. You can request longer stops at the Bema, additional time for prayer or reflection, or deeper dives into specific biblical passages—discuss preferences with your guide or operator pre-tour.

Is this tour suitable for people with limited mobility?

The site involves uneven terrain, steep climbs (especially Acrocorinth), and minimal shade. Those with mobility challenges should inform the operator in advance; some areas are difficult to access and may require assistance.

Bring plenty of water (1–2 litres), sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes with grip. A light layer is useful for air-conditioned vehicle time. A Bible or printout of 1 & 2 Corinthians enhances reflection at the Bema.

Do I need religious knowledge to enjoy this tour?

No. While the tour emphasises St. Paul's spiritual legacy, it's equally valuable for those interested in ancient Greek history, archaeology, and the cultural bridge between Hellenism and early Christianity. Your guide will provide historical context alongside biblical narrative.

About this activity

Follow St. Paul's missionary journey through the Peloponnese to Ancient Corinth on this 8-hour private pilgrimage tour departing Athens. Walk the same ancient grounds where the apostle preached, explore classical temples and fortifications, and reflect on early Christian history at one of Greece's most spiritually significant archaeological sites.

Embark on a transformative pilgrimage with our St. Paul's Footsteps to Ancient Corinth Private Tour. Journey through the picturesque Peloponnese Peninsula, tracing the sacred path of the apostle St. Paul. Along the way, marvel at the engineering marvel of the Corinth Canal, a modern feat of human ingenuity.

Guided by biblical narratives, immerse yourself in the spiritual and historical tapestry of Ancient Corinth. Arriving at this ancient city, explore its majestic ruins, including the Temple of Apollo and the imposing Acrocorinth fortress, where St. Paul once walked. Wander through the ancient marketplace and stand at the Bema, where St. Paul delivered his stirring sermons to the Corinthians.

With the flexibility of a private tour, customize your itinerary to delve deeper into the spiritual and historical facets of each location. Take moments for quiet reflection amidst the ancient ruins, contemplating the enduring legacy of St. Paul's teachings and their impact on Christianity.

★Bring substantial water; shade is limited at the archaeological site—a wide-brimmed hat and sunscreen are essential
★Request your guide focus on the Letters to the Corinthians passages in advance; this deepens the spiritual narrative at each stop
★The site straddles two eras: read up on both Hellenistic and Roman Corinth to fully contextualise Paul's 18-month stay (50–52 CE)

our guide Kemal was nice enough, but the bit at the end nobody expects felt a bit rushed honestly. Used it for our summer trip. Expected more, our porto tour was better value. Bit disappointed ngl, mid-week so it was quiet.

our guide Marco was nice enough, but the bit at the end nobody expects felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, 6 stops in about 3 hours.
