Corinth was located on the isthmus that connects northern and southern Greece. Because the isthmus is narrow, ships traveling from east to west would often transfer their cargo by land through Corinth in order to resume their journey on the other side. The tents made by Paul and Aquila would have been used by merchants and others who needed shelter when traveling.

Through Macedonia and Greece
"When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said good-bye and set out for Macedonia. He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, where he stayed three months. Because the Jews made a plot against him just as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia. He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas. But we sailed from Philippi after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days" (Acts 20:1-6, NIV).
