Corinth, an ancient and a modern city of the Peloponnese, in south-central Greece. The remains of the ancient city lie about 50 miles (80 km) west of Athens, at the eastern end of the Gulf of Corinth, on a terrace some 300 feet (90 metres) above sea level.

Corinth was a Greek, Hellenistic and Roman city located on the isthmus which connects mainland Greece with the Peloponnese. Surrounded by fertile plains and blessed with natural springs, ancient Corinth was a centre of trade, had a naval fleet and participated in various Greek wars.

Ancient Corinth is where you’ll find all the impressive archeological ruins, including the Temple of Apollo, the Agora, and the AcroCorinth Fortress. Staying here feels like stepping-back in time, with a more local, small-town atmosphere. Modern Corinth on the other hand, is a bustling port city.

Ancient Corinth was one of the wealthiest and most powerful Greek city-states, built 78 km (48 mi) southwest of Athens near the Corinth Canal, which connects the Peloponnese to mainland Greece.
