Kechries (or Cenchreae) was the eastern port of ancient Corinth and holds great significance in Christian history. It is famously mentioned in the New Testament as the place where Apostle Paul departed for Syria after completing his ministry in Corinth. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of the ancient harbor, including remnants of docks and warehouses.
