Areopagus Hill

Northwest of the Acropolis, the Areopagus was once Athens’ high court and a center of debate. Here, around 51 AD, St. Paul delivered his famous sermon on the “Unknown God” (Acts 17:16–34), marking the introduction of Christianity to Greece. Visitors today can stand on the same rock, reflect on Paul’s words, and enjoy panoramic views of the Acropolis, the Agora, and modern Athens.

The Diolkos

Discover the remnants of the Ancient Diolkos, a paved limestone trackway once used to haul ships overland between the Corinthian and Saronic gulfs. Pulled by slaves and animals, vessels were transported across the isthmus centuries before the canal existed. This logistical innovation elevated Corinth's dominance over 270 Greek colonies across the Mediterranean, establishing its strategic, economic, and spiritual power — which later attracted the Apostle Paul to establish his ministry here.
