Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

The ancient city of Corinth, known as the "spiritual birthplace" of Europe, attracts thousands each day with its warm winds and inviting turquoise waters. Located in the heart of Greece, Corinth is a paradox of ancient and modern, as the city was founded in the 8th Century BC yet has retained its past and boasts a rich cultural heritage.The unique architectural style of Corinth can be found throughout the city. The Greek Orthodox Church's massive domes boast 16th century mosaics that depict biblical scenes, while centuries-old walls are covered with Medieval paintings. Corinth's Old Town is a patchwork of the ancient city, with cobblestone streets and small square cafes.
