Korinthos
Ranked among Greece's most important cities, Korinthos is also a major
transportation hub, famous by the Isthmus of Corinth (Korinthos) and
its ancient history.
The church of the Apostle Paul reminds us of the saint's letters to
the Corinthians and his preaching here. Its long waterfront is one
of the most attractive spots in the city. Its numerous pastry shops,
restaurants, tavernas, bars, cinemas and nightclubs make Korinthos
lively in both winter and summer. In September and October a theatre
festival is held here with troupes from all over the Balkans.
The ruins of ancient Korinthos are spread out at the foot of the huge
rock of Acrocorinth. The monuments are mainly Roman, only a few are
Greek. You can trace the Long Walls, which began at the summit of
Acrocorinth and descended all the way to Lechaion (Leheo), the artificial
harbor on the Corinthian Gulf. |
