- 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 with the Gulf of Corinth. Spanning approximately 6 kilometers, its narrowest section is where the Corinth Canal was constructed (1880-1893).

- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a city-state (polis) on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow land strip connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, situated roughly midway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located about 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins. Since 1896, systematic archaeological research by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens has uncovered extensive parts of the ancient city, and recent excavations by the Greek Ministry of Culture have unveiled significant new aspects of antiquity.
- Archaeological Museum of Corinth - The Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth, situated within the archaeological site of ancient Korinthos, was constructed in 1932 by the American School of Classical Studies, which conducted excavations in the area. The renovated museum acquaints visitors with one of the most significant ancient Greek cities. It showcases Prehistoric collections, discoveries from the Asklepieion, and artifacts 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 temple constructed with 40 monolithic Doric columns, of which only seven remain over the ruins of the ancient marketplace. The original temple, dating from the early 7th to early 6th centuries BC, was built using stone, bricks, and wooden beams, featuring a heavy and intricate four-pitched roof made of clay tiles. It was likely a straightforward structure without external columns, yet it held significance in other respects.
