Isthmus of Corinth

The Isthmus of Corinth is a narrow strip of land that connects Central Greece with the Peloponnese , while the canal that has been opened in it connects the Saronic Gulf with the Gulf of Corinth . It is about 6 kilometers long and the narrowest point is where the Corinth Canal was built (1880-1893). It was a strategic point and for this reason a wall had already been built since ancient times (end of the 5th century BC), which had been preserved until the Byzantines ( Hexamilion ).

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

Corinth was a city-state (polis) on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins. Since 1896, systematic archaeological investigations of the Corinth Excavations by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens have revealed large parts of the ancient city, and recent excavations conducted by the Greek Ministry of Culture have brought to light important new facets of antiquity.

Acrocorinth

Akrokorinthos, a steep rock 575m. high which because of its morphology, used to be a viewport (Acropolis) in ancient times in case of a raid either from central Greece or from the sea. Acrocorinth is a monolithic rock overlooking the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. In the estimation of George Forrest, "It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece". With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula. -Amphitheater -Apostle Paul's step - Theater - Sanctuary of Asclepius - Sanctuary of Demeter and Koris - Fountain Glavki - Temple of Apollo - Temple of Octavia - Early Christian Basilica of the Skull - Early Christian Basilica of Lechai - Pirine - Conservatory
