- Isthmus of Corinth - The Isthmus of Corinth is a slender land bridge linking Central Greece with the Peloponnese. The canal carved through it connects the Saronic Gulf to the Gulf of Corinth. Spanning approximately 6 kilometers, its narrowest section hosts the Corinth Canal, constructed between 1880 and 1893. Historically strategic, a defensive…
- Isthmus of Corinth - The Isthmus of Corinth is a slender land bridge linking Central Greece with the Peloponnese. The canal carved through it connects the Saronic Gulf to the Gulf of Corinth. Spanning approximately 6 kilometers, its narrowest section hosts the Corinth Canal, constructed between 1880 and 1893. Historically strategic, a defensive wall was erected here in ancient times (late 5th century BC) and remained until the Byzantine era (Hexamilion).
- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a prominent city-state (polis) situated on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, positioned roughly midway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth lies about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) northeast of the ancient ruins. Since 1896, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens has conducted systematic archaeological excavations, uncovering significant portions of the ancient city. Recent digs by the Greek Ministry of Culture have unveiled new insights into its historical significance.
- Archaeological Museum of Corinth - Situated within the archaeological site of ancient Korinthos, the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth was established in 1932 by the American School of Classical Studies, which led excavations in the area. The updated museum introduces visitors to one of Greece’s most significant ancient cities, showcasing collections from the Prehistoric era, discoveries from the Asklepieion, and artifacts spanning from the Geometric period to the Byzantine era. The Twin Kouroi from ancient Tenea, a remarkable example of archaic sculpture, has recently been added to the exhibition.
- Temple of Apollo - The Temple of Apollo is an ancient structure originally built with 40 monolithic Doric columns, of which only seven remain standing over the ruins of the ancient marketplace. Dating back to between the early 7th and early 6th centuries BC, the temple was constructed from stone, bricks, and wooden beams, featuring a heavy, intricate four-pitched roof made of clay tiles. It was likely a straightforward design without external columns, yet notable in other respects.
- Acrocorinth - Akrokorinthos is a steep rock rising 575 meters high, historically serving as a vantage point (Acropolis) during raids from central Greece or the sea. Acrocorinth is a monolithic rock that overlooks the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. According to George Forrest, “It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece.” With its reliable water supply, Acrocorinth’s fortress was frequently used as a final defense line in southern Greece, controlling the Isthmus of Corinth and preventing enemy access by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.
- Apostolos Pavlos Church - The Church of Apostle Paul is a significant Orthodox church in Corinth, dedicated to Apostle Paul, who spread Christianity there in the 1st century AD. Corinth was a key location in Paul’s missionary journeys, where he lived and taught for about eighteen months. The church is near the ancient site where Saint Paul is believed to have addressed the Corinthians. Today, it serves as a place of worship and pilgrimage, celebrated for its spiritual significance, elegant architecture, and ties to early Christian history.
