Agios Dionysios Areopagitis Church - The Church of Saint Dionysius The Areopagite is located on the esteemed Skoufa Street in the Kolonaki district of Athens. It is dedicated to Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, the patron saint of Athens, who was converted to Christianity by Apostle Paul and became the city’s first bishop.
-
Areopagus - The Areopagus of Athens, also known as Mars Hill, is situated just northwest of the Acropolis. It is essentially a small marble hill where people gathered. During the Classical period, it served as a venue for judicial tribunals for significant crimes. By the time Paul visited Athens, the Areopagus had also become a popular spot for discussing and debating ideas. The council of the Areopagus consisted of 100 members, including philosophers, scholars, and former officials of Athens.

Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a man-made waterway in Greece that links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It traverses the narrow Isthmus of Corinth, effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland and turning the peninsula into an island. The canal, dug at sea level, lacks locks and measures 6.4 km (4 miles) in length and 24.6 m (80.7 feet) in width at sea level, rendering it impassable for many modern vessels.
-
Ancient Port of Kenchreai - Kechrees served as the eastern port of Corinth, located 70 stadia from the city, and flourished during the century when Corinth was a Roman Colonia. It was always Corinth’s commercial port, formed from a natural bay, with the first technical works believed to date back to the archaic period. According to Acts 15:18, Apostle Paul departed Greece from the port of Kechries at the end of his second missionary journey in late 51 or early 52 AD.
-
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Apostle Paul first visited the city in AD 49 or 50, during the tenure of Gallio, the brother of Seneca, as proconsul of Achaia. Paul stayed here for eighteen months (see Acts 18:11), where he met Priscilla and Aquila, with whom he later traveled. They worked together as tentmakers and regularly attended the synagogue. Paul authored at least two epistles to the Christian church in the city.
-
Archaeological Museum of Corinth - The Museum of Ancient Corinth was established in 1932 to house the numerous artifacts unearthed by archaeological excavations. Its construction was managed by the American School of Classical Studies, funded by a donation from Ada Small Moore.
-
Acrocorinth - The initial fortification on Acrocorinth dates back to the late 7th-early 6th century B.C., during the era of the Kypselid tyrants. Some extensive classical masonry dates to the 4th century B.C. From 338 B.C., Acrocorinth came under Macedonian control, who were later expelled by Aratos, leading to the city’s membership in the Achaean League. After the destruction by L. Mommius (146 B.C.), the wall was reconstructed using the same ancient materials by Julius Caesar (44 B.C.). The first Christian phase incorporated into the classical wall dates to the time of Justinian (6th century). The early and middle Byzantine periods saw the reconstruction and addition of new fortifications (7th – 12th century).
