Ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth, Corinth Canal
Ancient Corinth was a significant city-state in ancient Peloponnese, inhabited since Neolithic times (5000-3000 BCE). It was built at the foothills of Acrocorinth, the rocky hill southwest of the modern city. The Isthmian Sanctuary dedicated to the god Poseidon was a revered place, hosting athletic games every two years. However, Corinth’s history goes beyond; Saint Paul lived here for two years and preached. Visit the ruins of the ancient city, where Paul worked, see the remains of the 1st-century market where Paul’s trial took place, the Fountain of Peirene, and one of the significant pre-Roman monuments, the Temple of Apollo. All these illustrate the wealth and importance of ancient Corinth during ancient times due to its strategic location and commercial ties.
As we cross the isthmus, we will stop to admire the Corinth Canal. For the first time, the opening of the canal was considered by the ancient Greeks. The first attempt was made by the tyrant Periander in the 7th century BCE, but the project was abandoned. The canal was finally completed in 1893.
