Corinth, at a distance of 84 klm. from Athens, in the region of Peloponnesus, was one of the most important cities in ancient Greece. The ruins of the ancient city can be seen at a short distance from the contemporary busy town, and the Acrocorinth, a steep climb uphill, commands a panoramic view of the whole region. The ruins of ancient Corinth are of great interest, offering visitors an extensive view of life in ancient times. Myth and history coexist in harmony. At the Archeological Museum visitors can see findings from the excavations in the area, including pottery in the famous Corinthian style, sculptures, mosaics, devotional objects from patients who were healed at the Aesculapeum.
