For hundreds of years, Corinth was a major Greek city until the Romans destroyed the city in 146 BC but they built a new city in its placeAncient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC.

Corinth Canal

Corinth CanalThe Corinth Canal is a waterway that crosses the narrow isthmus of Corinth to link the Gulf of Corinth to the Saronic Gulf. As such, the canal separates the Greek mainland from the Peloponnese, turning it into an island The canal, though executed in the late 19th century, has been a 2000-year-old dream. Before its construction, ships in the Aegean Sea that wanted to cross to the Adriatic or anchor in Corinth, a rich shipping city, had to circle the Peloponnese, which would prolong their journey an extra 185 nautical miles. It is believed that Periander, the tyrant of Corinth (602 BC), was the first to conceive of the idea of digging the Corinth Canal. As the project was too complicated given the limited technical capabilities of the times, Periander constructed the diolkos, a stone road which allowed ships to be transferred on wheeled platforms.

The Diolkos

The Diolkos was a paved trackway near Corinth in Ancient Greece which enabled boats to be moved overland across the Isthmus of Corinth. The shortcut allowed ancient vessels to avoid the long and dangerous circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula. The phrase "as fast as a Corinthian", penned by the comic playwright Aristophanes, indicates that the trackway was common knowledge and had acquired a reputation for swiftness. The main function of the Diolkos was the transfer of goods, although in times of war it also became a preferred means of speeding up naval campaigns. The 6 km (3.7 mi) to 8.5 km (5.3 mi) long roadway was a rudimentary form of railway, and operated from c. 600 BC until the middle of the 1st century AD. The Diolkos combined the two principles of the railway and the overland transport of ships, on a scale that remained unique in antiquity.

Isthmia

At a short distance from the Corinth Canal, the largest technical project in our country in the 19th century, we find a place that has a glorious history, given that the second most important sports competitions were held there not only in Greece, but also throughout the ancient world, the Isthmians. It is located in a topical and pivotal position at the point where the Peloponnese joins Central Greece.The presence of the Apostle Paul in the Isthmian region is considered very important and the reference made in the Bible about his presence at the Isthmian games was very important because it is the first official presence of a Christian at the games. The apostle Pavkos worked at the Isthmian games as a tent maker for the accommodation of athletes and visitors to the Isthmian games, which were the second most important games after the Olympic games in Ancient Olympia. The apostle Paul proclaimed the son of Christ in the eyes of the visitors and athletes of the games, his action helped

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

Give us the chance to make this icon live and feel together the fundamentals of our culture. Trust the locals !!!Corinth was a city-state on the Isthmus of Corinth, the narrow stretch of land that joins the Peloponnese to the mainland of Greece, roughly halfway between Athens and Sparta. The modern city of Corinth is located approximately 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) northeast of the ancient ruins. For Christians, Corinth is well known from the two letters of Saint Paul in the New Testament, First and Second Corinthians. Corinth is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles as part of Paul the Apostle's missionary travels. In addition, the second book of Pausanias' Description of Greece is devoted to Corinth. Ancient Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities of Greece, with a population of 90,000 in 400 BC. The Romans demolished Corinth in 146 BC, built a new city in its place in 44 BC, and later made it the provincial capital of Greece.
