Corinth (/ˈkɔːrɪnθ/; Greek: Κόρινθος, Kórinthos, pronounced [ˈkorinθos]) is a city and former municipality in Corinthia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality of Corinth, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit. It is the capital of Corinthia.
It was founded as Nea Korinthos or New Corinth (Νέα Κόρινθος) in 1858 after an earthquake destroyed the existing settlement of Corinth, which had developed in and around the site of ancient Corinth.
Located about 78 kilometres (48 mi) west of Athens, Corinth is surrounded by the coastal townlets of (clockwise) Lechaio, Isthmia, Kechries, and the inland townlets of Examilia and the archaeological site and village of ancient Corinth. Natural features around the city include the narrow coastal plain of Vocha, the Corinthian Gulf, the Isthmus of Corinth cut by its canal, the Saronic Gulf, the Oneia Mountains, and the monolithic rock of Acrocorinth, where the medieval acropolis was built.

Of the city's former magnificence, only a few Doric columns of the 6th century Apollo Temple have survived. Due to its favourable location and fertile soil, three thousand years ago during the Neolithic period the first settlements were established in this region.146 B.C. marked the end of Classical Corinth. The Romans devastated and plundered the ancient metropolis and enslaved its people and for almost a hundred years the ruins were uninhabited but, due to Caesar, new life returned to the city. Surrounded by the pure, wild beauty of Nature, the ruins blend harmoniously into the magnificence of the surrounding landscape. From a medieval fortress, in the d...
World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Greece Travel Guide http://bit.ly/19QqISc Shepherd Entertainment shows you to some of Korinthos's history and shares the unique solution applied at the Corinthian Channel regarding the bridge opening system that allows shipping traffic. Korinthos lies 60km west of Athens. To save the trouble of sailing around the Peloponnesus Peninsula, a track was built in ancient times on which smaller ships were transported on horse drawn carts between the Aegean and the Ionic Sea. A section of this 10m wide stone paved road called Diolkos in Greek can still be seen at the Poseidon end of the channel. The Emperor Nero had already envisaged building a channel along this route for larger ships to pass through. However, his plan wasn't realized until 1...

The area is known to be inhabited at least since 6000BC. Nevertheless little in the town reminds...
Greece is the cradle of the European civilization, a quarry of mythology and ancient relics. On the Chalkidiki Peninsula we can visit the city of Thessalonica, the beaches of Katerini and Paralia, and from the boat we can take a look at the mystical monastery republic, Athos. Near the legendary Olympus Mountain we can take a look at the ‘rocks of gods’, the Meteora monasteries built on the sky-high cliffs. Athens’s well known building is the Acropolis, which is garlanded by the golden pillars of the Parthenon. The Agora was the marketplace of the ancient Athens, while the Plaka is a current, full of life eastern bazaar. From the capital the visitors can take journeys to the canal of Corinth and to the beaches of the Attican Riviera. From the dock of Pireus it is easy to take a boat and vis...

Ancient Corinth http://www.myvideomedia.com English see below Im antiken Korinth in Griechenland zeugen nur noch die Reste des Zeustempels von der archaischen Stadt. Ansonsten sind die Ruinen stark von der römischen Vergangenheit geprägt. Im Zentrum der Agora ist die Rednerbühne erkennbar vor der sich der Apostel Paulus vor den römischen Machthabern verantworten musste. Gut erhalten ist das Brunnenhaus der Quelle der Peirene, einer Nymphe der griechischen Mythologie. Viele Statuen umgaben einst das große Schwimmbecken. Die breite Lechaion-Straße, die Einkaufsstrasse Korinths, vermittelt noch heute die Vitalität, die sich hier einst gezeigt hat. Vom Theater sind nur noch die Grundmauern erkennbar. Das benachbarte Museum zeigt reichhaltige Wandmalereien, Mosaike und Plastiken. Ü...

Another venture on our honeymoon trip, Corinth Greece. A two hour drive from Athens. We met 'Lefty" our taxi tour guide at the port. He was great, when he saw the drone and the footage he took us places to capture amazing footage. Stop 1, the Corinth Canal which connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Sanoric Gulf. Stop 2, Ancient Corinth is a archeology spot and flying over was a big no no. A few minutes into the flight I heard people blowing whistles. I started to shake and feverishly brought back Melmac. Someone rushed out and confronted me, threatened to throw me in jail. I let him talk and just kept apologizing until he simply let me go. Stop 3, Akrokorinthos, a fortress on top of a mountain over looking Corinth. Again "Lefty" brought us here and as you can see there was virtu...
