In no time, we will get to the ancient city of Corinth, one of the most important cities in history renown for its “ill manners.” The richest town in Greece, ancient Corinth was erected at the foot of the celebrated Acrocorinth Hill (575 meters above sea level) which served as a strong acropolis or citadel in prehistoric times.

Corinth is still visible on public buildings today and originates from there (Callimachus, 5th century BC). The long and very interesting ancient history of Corinth included St. Paul’s time (52 AD), who visited twice and established the Church of Corinth.

While here, it’s worth visiting the Corinth Museum that has some amazing artifacts discovered in the ruins of ancient city. Some antiquities like Roman mosaics, and so on are available at the museum.
