Corinth Canl connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. First stop there , will take great photos.

Ancient Corinth was a city-state (polis) on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. Corinth was a city-state and for Christians, Corinth is well known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of the Paul the Apostle’s missionary travels.
You can stroll the ancient city-state Corinth, where you can also see the Bema of Saint Paul and explore the small museum inside the archaeological site.

Acrocorinth, “Upper Corinth”, the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth and the Corinthian Gulf. It is the most impressive of the acropolis of mainland Greece. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth’s fortress was repeatedly used as a last line of defense in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry by land into the Peloponnese peninsula.

A rare creation of nature with mysterious galleries and strange stalactite formationsIn general, the cave’s walls are embellished with splendid stalactite complexes, which stimulate the eye and the imagination to create their own images, as the visitor goes through this stone forest full of surprises, while walking on a safe corridor. At the end of this corridor the visitor faces the «Castle», one of the most impressive formations on the ground recalling a castle’s battlements, and even a «rampart» a few metres before that.
Small or large lakes, 13 in total, succeed one another, while terrestrial areas alternate with lake ones until the cave’s end, for a total length of nearly 2 km (1980 m) and an area of 20,000 m2. Proceeding further into the interior, the visitor has a chance to realize the particular morphology of a cave which has been opened along a fault: hence its narrowness and very high ceiling. Learn all about the caves once there.
