1
Corinth Canal
We stop as we cross the Isthmus to see the Corinth Canal, a magnificent engineering achievement that opened the way between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf. Even though the concept dates back at least to 602 BC, it wasn't completed until 1893!

Archaeological Museum of Corinth
The Museum of Ancient Corinth was built in 1932 to house the numerous objects brought to light by the archaeological excavations. Its construction was undertaken by the American School of Classical Studies, thanks to a donation of Ada Small Moore.
The building was designed by Stuart Thompson, following the architectural model of the “Chicago school”. The west wing was added later, in 1951. Museum spaces were organized around two atriums, which give a unique character to the building.
During 2007-2008, works were undertaken in order to upgrade the Museum, through funds of the 3rd CSF. The two galleries containing the prehistoric collections and the finds from the Sanctuary of Asklepios were renovated at this time.
In 2015, large-scale works were completed in the east and south wing. These areas now host a new exhibition on ancient Corinth, from the Geometric Period until its destruction by the Romans, in 146 B.C. This project was funded by the 2007-2013 NSRF.

Akrokorinthos
The acropolis of ancient Corinth, Acrocorinth, is a monolithic rock that overlooks the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. According to George Forrest, "it is the most impressive of mainland Greece's acropoleis." Because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entering the Peloponnese peninsula by land, Acrocorinth's fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece. It is now one of Greece's most important medieval castle sites.
