Depart from Athens, we drive westwards along the scenic coastal road until we reach the Corinth Canal, which separates Peloponnese from the rest of Greece. (short stop) and then in about 10 minutes we reach the ancient town of Corinth (visit) where Saint Paul lived and preached for two years. In the ancient times, Corinth was among the richest Greek cities, as is quite evident by its remains of the Ancient Agora and the Temple of Apollo (6th century BC).  
  As Paul arrived at Corinth in 49 or 50 C.E., he would have seen lots of rock piles, ruins of ancient city walls. Rome had destroyed the old Corinth in 146 B.C.E. The city Paul entered was therefore young-- not even a century old. In 44 B.C.E. a decree of Julius Caesar had re-founded Corinth as a Roman colony.Corinth, the capital of the province of Achaia, was a city of social, cultural, and religious diversity, including Jews. The Jews living there were more cosmopolitan and multicultural than those in Palestine. Paul's visit came at a significant time for mission work. In 49 C.E., the Jews were expelled from Rome. A good number migrated to Corinth. While Paul stayed in Corinth, he met with Jewish refugees from Rome. Paul sought out two of them, Aquila and Prisca, because they were tentmakers like him. He asked if they could work together as business associates. Aquila and Prisca also became key leaders of the young Christian church.
