Kenchreai or Cenchreae (Ancient Greek: Κεγχρεαί) situated near a broad bay at the western end of the Saronic Gulf was one of the two ports of the inland city-state of Corinth.
Apostle Paul stopped at Kenchreai during his second missionary journey, where he had his hair cut to fulfil a vow. Paul mentions the place and a woman named Phoebe in the local assembly in his epistle to the Romans (Romans 16:1).
