- Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos) - In 400 BC, the city had a population of 90,000. Its strategic location at the crossroads of east and west, along with its fertile land, made it significant. It was also steeped in ancient myths, including the tale of Sisyphus. The devotional area of Isthmia hosted games, including the Olympics. The Romans eventually destroyed the ancient city and built a new one in its place. Saint Paul also visited and wrote letters to this city.
- Corinth Canal - As we traverse the Isthmus, we pause to admire the engineering marvel that finally connected the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf - the Corinth Canal. Completed in 1893, the concept for the canal dates back to at least 602 BC!

Although the city was destroyed by Romans,The ancient city was destroyed by the Romans, who built a new city in its place; we can still see the extensive ruins (including the columns of the Temple of Apollo) that testify to Corinth’s great prosperity. It is also one of the places that Saint Paul visited and wrote letters to. As we cross the Isthmus, we stop to see the great feat of engineering that finally opened the route between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf - the Corinth Canal. It was finished in 1893, even though the idea existed at least as far back as 602 BC!
