Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

Corinth was built on the northern foothills of Akrokorinthos which rises precipitously above the old city. The strategic value of its position, the two harbors on both gulfs-Lechaeum and Kenchreai- which accommodated its increasing trade volume, the exploitation of its natural welth, mainly of clay and poros limestone and the establishment within the city of craft centers and workshops, contributed in various capacities to the creation of the most prosperous, economically and artistically diverse center of the Greek world until the end of the 6th century B.C.

Archaeological Site Mycenae

The fortified citadel of ancient Mycenae, the seat of the mythical and mighty King Agamemnon. An impressive and well-preserved site, the city of Mycenae gave its name to an entire civilization. Admire sites such as the Tomb of Clytemnestra, the infamous Lion’s Gate, the Cyclopean walls and learn of their blood-stained past. In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades and parts of southwest Anatolia. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. At its peak in 1350 BC, the citadel and lower town had a population of 30,000 and an area of 32 hectares.
