The Temple of Apollo is the most visible and obvious monument, in Ancient Corinth. Towering above the ruins of the ancient city, it can be seen from almost any vantage point - something which must have been true even 2,000 years ago. It is impressive, even in its remains and ruins and gives one a sense of just how impressive and monumental it was to the citizens and inhabitants of ancient Corinth. While the worship of the pagan god Apollo has long passed away, the remaining vestiges of his importance at the time are manifest in the magnificent remains of the Temple of Apollo to this day..

Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. "It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece," in the estimation of George Forrest.[1] Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. Along with Demetrias and Chalcis, the Acrocorinth during the Hellenistic period formed one of the so-called "Fetters of Greece" - three fortresses garrisoned by the Macedonians to secure their control of the Greek city-states. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros. Strongly recommended if you like history. Start your day with drinking a lot , I mean a lot of waters.

A must for anyone interested in seeing the sites associated with the ministry of the Apostle Paul, as well as the history, religion, and culture of the area from ancient Greek through the Roman period. For those especially interested in the Erastus inscription, be aware that it's located on the grounds around the theater, which is an area separate from the rest of the site. Cross the parking lot from the ticket office and bear to your left, and you'll see the steps down to the theater grounds, and you'll see the area marked off where the inscription is located.

Technical work of paved road, wich was used to avoid the circumnavigation of Peloponnese. The boats were transferred with the use of the slide, from the Saronikos gulf into the Corinthos gulf.
