What to expect
Roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta on the Peloponnese Peninsula of Greece is Corinth. It’s a famous city, though not for the modern city that now sits on the Isthmus of Corinth (the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to mainland Greece) but for the ancient city it once was.
Visiting Corinth and the Acrocorinth is a must-do for history buffs and fans of ancient Greek mythology.
These two important historic sites are some of the most important in the Peloponnese and can easily be seen together in one day.
The ancient city of Corinth holds a significant place in Greek history for its strategic location, prosperous trade, and influential culture.
Situated between the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea, Corinth controlled the narrow Isthmus, a key trade route connecting the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and founding location of the Isthmian Games.
The Apostle Paul visited Corinth in the 1st century CE and established a Christian community there.
It was said he arrived in Corinth in 49 or 50 AD and created the first Church of Corinth, where he met Priscilla and Aquila, who became two of the Seventy Disciples.
His letters to the Corinthians, known as the First and Second Epistles to the Corinthians, form an integral part of the New Testament.
