Step into Biblical and Classical History – Visit Ancient Corinth from Athens

If you're searching for a short and meaningful escape from Athens, Ancient Corinth is a must-visit destination. Just over an hour from the city, this legendary site is filled with rich history, impressive ruins, and deep spiritual significance—perfect for travelers who love archaeology, ancient Greece, or early Christian history.

Ancient Corinth was one of the most important city-states of classical antiquity, known for its wealth, architecture, and strategic location between mainland Greece and the Peloponnese. Today, visitors can explore the Temple of Apollo, the Agora, the Fountain of Peirene, and the Acrocorinth fortress, which offers panoramic views of the region.

Corinth also holds special significance for religious travelers. It’s one of the key locations where the Apostle Paul preached, and you can walk in his footsteps while visiting the Bema, the platform from which he addressed the Corinthians.
