This was an interesting site where a very ancient marble road is still in use....incredible! The attraction for us was Bema - the place where Paul was questioned by King Agrippa. The platform was still intact because it is stone! Very interesting museum of medical procedures and ideas from the times before Christ.
We had an excellent guide who was very informative and the visit was very good. There is no shade so take a hat.
just an amazing view, you can take in all in 10 minutes, great if you catch a curse ship going through or sailing boat!
We went to Ancient Corinth as part of a Shore Excursion. This site contains a nice little museum and the Ancient Corinth Archaeological site. For Christians, Corinth is known from the two books First Corinthians and Second Corinthians in the New Testament. These ruins date back to about 400 BC. It is about one hour drive from Athens.
You're obviously not traveling to Greece with Corinth being your primary focus. Chances are you're planning a trip to Athens and keep seeing Ancient Corinth pop up in your tour options.... Well, I would recommend that you book it!!There were definitely some good archaeological sites there, but the real treat of this visit is that you get to connect with a couple of sites that the Apostle Paul visited in the Book of Acts. It's actually really cool, and I would recommend bringing your Bible with you to reference on the bus ride there!
We stopped in Corinth on our way to Nafplion and it didn't disappoint. It's a very large site with much intact and the Temple of Apollo is especially impressive. The village at the foot of the site is very quaint and worth a stop for a coffee.
Everything what is the most intresting in greek culture... Stones, stones, a little nature and stones. :)
The antiquities are Amazing! I have been there three times and would go again! Love Athens and Sounion, Coronthian Gulf and . .
So much of old Corinth is available to walk around. The signs offer good explanations and you can view the complexities of city life. Also this is the place where St Paul gave his speech.
Ancient Corinth is a wonderful 1.5 hour train ride from Athens, and makes for a great half-day trip from Athens. The entrance fee is five euro, and the site is relatively well preserved. The pleasant surprise is the very nice museum located on the site, preserving wonderful statuary and priceless artifacts, all of which is included in the price of the ticket. You will need a cab from the train station in Corinth to the site of ancient Corinth. The cab is €10 each way, and ask for the Corinth Archaeological Museum.
