Ancient Corinth

Below Acrocorinth, Ancient Corinth brings together the standing columns of the Temple of Apollo, the remains of a Roman city and a museum of finds from the surrounding landscape. It is a substantial first stop from Athens, with more to understand than a single monument.

What makes it stand out

Follow the relationship between the temple, public spaces and the city’s routes rather than moving from photograph to photograph. The museum gives scale and detail to the ruins outside. Looking up towards Acrocorinth helps explain why this lower city and its fortified height belong in the same story, although they are separate visits. Ancient Corinth also makes a useful introduction before continuing to Nemea or the Bronze Age sites of Argolis.

Planning your visit

Reserve a substantial morning for the site and museum. A visit to Acrocorinth needs another block of time, a drive uphill and walking on uneven ground. For a short trip, choose the part that best matches your interests instead of rushing both. Stay nearby if Corinthia is your focus, or continue to Nafplio after lunch. Check site and museum opening arrangements together, including any changes during extreme heat.
