Corinth : Travel information before you go!

map Continental Greece

Discover the destination

The region of Corinth is the first step on a tour when you come to Athens. It is especially interesting for lovers of archaeology. The Corinth Canal, 50 miles west of Athens, is impressive. Only 82 ft wide for a length of 307 miles, it transformed the Peloponnese, at the time of its completion in 1893, into a huge island, the first in Greece.

pros

  •  Its canal, a historical wonder
  •  The archaeological richness

cons

  •  The merchants of souvenirs are omnipresent at the most visited sites
  •  The highway runs too close to the canal. It's a pity
  •  The beaches
