Cenchreae was the eastern harbor town of Corinth, on the Saronic Gulf, roughly seven miles from the city. Paul sailed from there after cutting his hair in fulfillment of a vow (Acts 18:18), and the town had its own church, in which Phoebe served as a deacon and patron whom Paul commends to the Romans (Romans 16:1). Excavations at the site have uncovered its ancient harbor works, confirming its role as one of Corinth's two ports.
