Greece Peloponnese Corinth

Built in 1858, modern Corinth replaced earthquake-ravaged ancient Corinth. It is set between the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas.

Pottery depicts settlement here dating to the 7C BC. Excavations continue to reveal artifacts from this city that peaked at 90,000 people.

Stroll through the city center, enjoy the beautiful buildings, and make sure to sample souvlaki, a local specialty.

As the acropolis of ancient Corinth, this imposing site was in use from antiquity to the 19C. Its fortress remains are impressive.

Dating as early as 1C, the canal was completed in 1893. At 4 mi long and 70 ft wide, it's interesting to watch from the bridge.

Soak up the Greek sun on the beautiful beaches of Corinth, relax on the shore or go for a swim in the warm blue water.
