The Biblical City Of Corinth
Friday 27 June
Our morning excursion out of Athens takes us by the Saronic Gulf, where in 480 BC, the course of history was
changed! The small Grecian fleet managed to defeat the enormously powerful armada of the Persians. From
here, we arrive at ancient Corinth (Acts 18:1-18) via the historic Corinthian Canal.
It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church,
subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament I and II Corinthians. Here, we see all
of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and
Gallio’s Seat.
After the visit the small local archaeological museum, we return to the hotel in Athens. It was the harbor of
Corinth on the Saronic Gulf, where Paul sailed for Ephesus (Acts 18:18). Return to our hotel in Athens.

1 Day Cruise To Greek Islands Hydra Poros And Aegina
Saturday 28 June
Enjoy a one-day cruise to 3 different islands in the Saronic Gulf, including a buffet lunch served on board and
round-trip transfers by bus.
Set sail at 8:00 a.m. from the port. The first stop is Hydra, a fashionable artists' colony, retreat of intellectuals
and a favorite film location. The amphitheatrical town rings the colorful harbor with well-preserved seamerchant family mansions. We have time for a leisurely stroll, some shopping or swimming (weather and sea
permitting).
Buffet lunch on board. From here our voyage continues to Poros where the first naval arsenal of independent
Greece was established. Poros provides delightful scenery marked by the low pine-wooded hills.
Our last port of call is Aegina, an attractive and tranquil resort island. Here we can either join the optional
