Corinth
About
Visit Ancient Corinth, countless ancient myths, like the myth of Sisyphus.

Itinerary
1
Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)
In 400 BC it had a population of 90,000 people. In addition to being in a strategic location, at the intersection between east and west, it was also on fertile soil.
It was also the location of countless ancient myths, such as the myth of Sisyphus Games – including the Olympics – were held in the devotional area of Isthmia. The ancient city was destroyed by the Romans, who built a new city in its place. It is also one of the places that Saint Paul visited and wrote letters to.

Corinth Canal
As we cross the Isthmus, we stop to see the great feat of engineering that finally opened the route between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf - the Corinth Canal. It was finished in 1893, even though the idea existed at least as far back as 602 BC!

Nemea
We also visit Nemea, an ancient wine-making region of Greece. Nemea is home to a grape variety named "Agiorgitiko" that is at least 3,000 years old. Due to the different microclimates in the region, there are a variety of different wines produced here, from fruity and light to mature and full-bodied. At the winery we discover how wine is made and try three different types of wine.
