In this tour we leave Athens and drive to the Corinth Canal. The Corinth
Canal connects the Aegean with the Ionian Sea. We will have a short stop
for fotos.
We continue visiting the ancient town of Corinth where St. Paul lived for
two years.
Ancient Corinth was a very busy trading city, which led to its cosmopolitan
character. It was known as "Wealthy Corinth". The reason for its wealth
was its location. It was able to control the only land access to the
Peloponnese and so dominated the trade in both the Saronic gulf (to the
east) and the gulf of Corinth (to the west).
