• Athens - Begin the journey from Athens with a one-hour drive to the initial destination.
• Corinth Canal - The Corinth Canal is a significant 19th-century engineering marvel, crucial for Mediterranean trade. It links the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, cutting through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and effectively separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, thus turning the peninsula into an island. The canal, dug at sea level without locks, spans 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) and is 21.4 meters (70 feet) wide at its base, making it unsuitable for many modern vessels. Today, it serves primarily as a tourist attraction.
• Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - Corinth was a prominent city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the land bridge connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece, situated roughly midway between Athens and Sparta. The contemporary city of Corinth is about 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) northeast of the ancient site.
  Corinth holds significance for Christians due to the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians, and its mention in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul’s missionary journeys. Additionally, the second book of Pausanias’ Description of Greece is dedicated to Corinth.
  Ancient Corinth was among the largest and most influential cities in Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans destroyed Corinth in 146 BC, rebuilt it in 44 BC, and later established it as the provincial capital of Greece.
• Archaeological Museum of Corinth - Built between 1931-1932, the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth was designed to showcase the numerous recent archaeological discoveries. It is situated within the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth and is managed by the 37th Ephoreia of the Greek Archaeological Service.
• Acrocorinth - Acrocorinth, or “Upper Corinth,” is the acropolis of ancient Corinth, a monolithic rock overlooking the ancient city. George Forrest described it as “the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece.” With a reliable water supply, Acrocorinth’s fortress was frequently used as a final defense line in southern Greece, controlling the Isthmus of Corinth and preventing land entry into the Peloponnese peninsula.

We initiate our journey with a traversal of the Corinth Canal, built in 1893 and still operating today. Post our journey through the canal, we head towards Ancient Corinth, which presumably was home to around 100,000 inhabitants but only has 600 ruins in the present era. Corinth has the reputation of being one of the most well-known and frequented towns in Greece. It’s situated in the South West of Peloponnese, bordered by mountains named after the ye olde city. Notable monuments include The Temple of Apollo, Roman Odeon, and the Archaeological Museum.
