Corinth, the modern and dynamic capital of Corinth, is a historic seaside city that is the vibrant gateway to the Peloponnese, built in a strategic location on the isthmus that connects Central Greece with the Morea. The city, which was rebuilt with excellent street planning after the devastating earthquake of 1858, uniquely combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere with its heavy archaeological heritage, which is reflected in the nearby, world-famous Archaeological Site of Ancient Corinth with the imposing Temple of Apollo and the landscape crowned by the castle of Acrocorinth. Today, Corinth offers wide pedestrian streets, picturesque squares with fountains, a rich market and a vibrant daily life in the port, while its strategic location next to the Corinth Canal offers easy access to Loutraki, the important archaeological sites of Nemea and Mycenae, as well as some of the most beautiful coasts of the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs.
