We will see the temple of Apollo, one of the oldest temples in Greece, dating from the 6th century BC. Corinth was destroyed by the Romans in 146 BC and was rebuilt as a Roman colony under Julius Caesar about a hundred years later and became again a very rich city.
So, you will explore the ruins of the roman city and see the forum, the bema of St Paul, who spent a year and a half in Corinth, the well preserved Lechaion road which led to the port of the city on the city on the Corinthian gulf, Peirene Fountain and much more including statues and other finds from the site at the local museum.
This is a very interesting tour especially for those interested in following the steps of St Paul.
