canal
It’s around 1 hour driving until Ancient Corinth. Just before our arrival there, we will make a small stop at Corinth canal. Right there is the entrance to the Peloponnese and the view from there is magnificent. It is an artificial canal that separates the Peloponnese from Attica and allows ships to cross the Aegean Sea. It was built in 1890, but the plans for its completion already existed from 5th century BC.
corinth
At Corinth we will visit the archaeological site and the museum and among other things we will see the hill and the temple of Apollo. Here are also the places where the Apostle Paul taught. Ancient Corinth has been one of the most important and powerful ancient cities of Greece, which has been inhabited since the Neolithic years (6500-3250 BC). The city flourished for many centuries until the Corinthians finally accepted Athenian rule. It was finally destroyed by the Roman invaders in 146 BC, but Julius Caesar decided to re-establish the city in 44 BC, because he considered it of strategic importance. All the conquerors of Greece passed through here and have left their traces: Byzantines, Franks, St John knights of Rhodes, Venetians and finally the Turks. It is therefore obvious that this is an extremely historic place, which is definitely worth a visit.
