8. Corinth Canal is a great piece of work completed in 1886, which connects the Aegean with the Ionian Sea and technically transforms the Peloponnese peninsula into an island. Originally, there was an isthmus, a narrow strip of land connecting the Peloponnese with Mainland Greece, that they are now connected with a bridge. Enjoy the astonishing view and take some beautiful pictures.

9. Ancient Corinth was one of the most important city-states of Ancient Greece. Due to its strategic location next to the Isthmus, Ancient Corinth exceeded Athens in terms of wealth. Ancient Corinth had an important role at the Persian and the Peloponnesian Wars and was an important city-state from the classical times to the Roman Times, as a capital of the Roman province of Achaia, and until the Byzantine period. In the site you can see the temple of Apollo (7th Century BCE), the ruins of the Roman city (44 BCE), the Lehaion road and the place where Apostole Paul preached to the Corinthians.

About Athene

Athene zet de Akropolis boven een uitgestrekte moderne hoofdstad, waar antieke ruïnes, steegjes op de heuvel en lange tavernaavonden naast elkaar bestaan.

De Parthenon kroont de Akropolis, geflankeerd door het Erechtheion met zijn portiek van cariatiden, en het Akropolismuseum aan de voet van de heuvel toont beeldhouwwerk dat op de rots is gevonden. Daaromheen maken de Antieke Agora, de Tempel van Olympische Zeus, de Boog van Hadrianus en het marmeren Panathinaiko-stadion de klassieke stad gemakkelijk te belopen.
