Port of Cenchrae

Cenchrae Greece. Archeological work here has confirmed this was an active port beginning late 6th/early 5th century BC. In the 1st century AD the port had temples dedicated to numerous Greek and Roman gods including Apollo, Isis, Poseidon, Pan and Aphrodite. At the Isthmian museum there are remains of glass mosaics that depict the port as it would have looked in St. Paul’s day - a busy commercial port with visitors from every part of the Mediterranean world and Asia Minor/Syria.
