Chronicles of Korinthos
Korinthos, the ancient city of Corinth, has a storied past dating back to the 8th century BC. The city was a major centre of trade and culture in ancient Greece, with the famous Diolkos, a 6km-long canal, built to connect the city to the Peloponnese. The city's architecture has been shaped by various periods of occupation, from the ancient Romans to the Venetians, resulting in a unique blend of styles. Today, Korinthos is a charming coastal town with a strong sense of community and a rich cultural heritage. The annual Patras Carnival, a UNESCO-recognised event, takes place in February, drawing visitors from across Greece.

Top Attractions in Korinthos
💡 Best on Saturday mornings when farmers from the surrounding villages bring in seasonal fruit and vegetables. The grilled octopus from the fish stalls makes a cheap lunch.
💡 Walk to the smaller pedestrian bridge just south of the main road bridge. It's quieter and gives a better angle for photos of the canal slicing through the rock.
💡 Wear sturdy shoes and take water. The trail starts behind the old railway station near the canal. Best done in late afternoon for the sunset colours over the water.
💡 Go early in the morning before the tour buses arrive around 10am. The light is better for photos and you'll have the place nearly to yourself.
💡 The mosaic floor in the main hall is the highlight. Come here first to understand the site layout before wandering the ruins. Allow 45 minutes.
