Andrew Reynolds visits Cenchrea, Greece on October 19, 2018.

In biblical times, Cenchreae was the seaport of Corinth on the eastern side of the isthmus.

A seaport about 10 km. (6 mi.) east of Corinth, on the Saronic Gulf.

The Apostle Paul, after arriving at Cenchrea, where he could find a ship going east, had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.
Acts 18:18 Paul, having remained many days longer, took leave of the brethren and put out to sea for Syria, and with him were Priscilla and Aquila. In Cenchrea he had his hair cut, for he was keeping a vow.

Paul commends a single individual, Phoebe, … a servant and a member of the church which is at Cenchrea. Cenchrea was the neighboring port city of Corinth, from which Paul wrote this letter, and the church … at Cenchrea doubtless was a daughter church of the one at Corinth.
Romans 16:1 I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea.

Before the Corinthian Canal was cut through the isthmus, traffic to Europe from Asia often passed from Cenchreae through Corinth to Lechaion.

Cenchrea is mentioned in the writings of Thucydides, Pausanias, and Strabo.
