Peloponnese (pass by)

The Peloponnese is a peninsula and geographic region in southern Greece. It is connected to the central part of the country by the Isthmus of Corinth land bridge which separates the Gulf of Corinth from the Saronic Gulf. Peloponnese grape varieties have a very special place in the treasure of native Greek grape varieties. Τhe Peloponnese Wine Roads take you on a journey to a modern, sometimes rare and definitely unknown to many wine world, full of authenticity and history. Native Peloponnese grape varieties do not only reflect the diversity of Greek and Peloponnesian wine, but also the significance of some very special Greek varieties. Among them are two of the four most renowned varieties of the Greek vineyard in the world’s best markets: the exotic Moschofilero-Mantinia and the captivating Agiorgitiko-Nemea. Moreover, Mavrodafni is known for the popular Greek dessert wine and Muscat produces sweet and potentially exquisite wines along with many more rare grape varieties.

Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal one of the most important projects of modern Greece, which played a catalytic role for the Mediterranean trade, has constituted an inspiration for centuries and was completed 25 centuries after the conception of its idea. It is a man-made canal in Greece, that connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.Back to the late 7th century B.C., and specifically in 602 B.C. At that time, the tyrant of Corinth Periander decided to connect the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. His purpose was to try and open a canal in the isthmus of Corinth which would allow the avoidance of a dangerous circumnavigation of the Peloponnese and shorten the route. The plans of Periander, one of the seven sages of antiquity, as ancient writers testify, remained unaccomplished.

Ancient Corinth (Archaia Korinthos)

Ancient Corinth was first inhabited in the Neolithic period (6500-3250 B.C.). It is located at the northern base of the hill of Acrocorinth at the site of today’s agglomeration. Its fertile soil but mainly its strategic location at the intersection of land routes from the Balkan peninsula of Aimos and mainland Greece on towards the Peloponnese and waterways that connect the western Mediterranean to its Eastern counterpart, to Asia Minor and to Syro-Palestine, offered the region from very early on enormous potential for communication, growth and prosperity.The city, known since the Mycenaean period. The tremendous output of agricultural products, already in earlier historical periods, favored intense expansion in trade activities mainly towards the Western Mediterranean, while in the 8th century BC Corinthian colonies were founded, like Corfu in the Ionian Sea, Syracuse in Sicily, with an important role and contribution in the history of the ancient Mediterranean world.

Temple of Apollo

The temple of Apollo at Corinth is one of the earliest Doric temples in the Peloponnese and the Greek mainland. Built around 560 B.C.E., of local oolithic limestone on top of an imposing, rocky hill to the north of Acrocorinth, the Archaic temple was an emblem for the Greek city of Corinth, reflecting its growth and prosperity. The temple was peripteral, surrounded by a pteron of 42 monolithic, limestone columns (6×15), over 7 m. high. Its central structure was divided into three parts: an antechamber with two columns in antis (pronaos), a central oblong, rectangular room subdivided into two parts (cella), and a rear room with two columns in antis (opistodomos).In the Roman period, when the city of Corinth was refounded by the Romans, the Temple of Apollo was renovated in order to house the cult of the Emperor. In the Byzantine era a basilica was built on the northeast part of Temple Hill, whereas in the Ottoman period, the eastern part of the Temple was demolished...

Temple of Apollo

The Rostra (Bema) of the Roman Forum. Saint Paul is also known as the Apostle of the Nations because of his missionary journeys throughout the eastern Mediterranean for the dissemination of Christianity. In this context he visited several Greek cities, including the island of Samothrace, Philippi, Thessalonica and Veroia in Macedonia, Athens and, most importantly, Corinth. Corinth, a Roman imperial colony and capital of the province of Achaea (Peloponnese and Central Greece), experienced a period of great prosperity during the Roman era. Saint Paul arrived in the city in the mid-1st c. A.D. and took up lodging and work with the Jewish tentmakers Aquila and Priscilla. At the same time, he reasoned and preached the Gospel to the Jews of the city, being confronted, however, with strong opposition from several members of the city’s large Jewish community.Saint Paul thus resolved to devote his full attention to the conversion of the Gentiles, a decision which proved highly successful.

Corinth (pass by)

Inside the Ancient Agora of ancient Corinth, you will admire the Temple of Octavia. This represents one of the best-preserved examples of roman architecture. During its initial construction phase, the temple was Doric with six columns on its façade with stone foundations, very possibly on a three-stepped crepidoma. The shrine was surrounded by a wall to the west and stoas to the north and south. Towards the end of the 1st c. A.D., the early temple was replaced by a new marble one, of the Corinthian order, with 6 x 12 columns surrounding it on a high pedestal. It included a long cella and a pronaos with two columns in antis, preceded by a staircase. The architrave of the eastern side bore a Latin inscription with inlaid, bronze letters. The temple was probably dedicated to the cult of the Triad of the Capitol or to the cult of the imperial family, while according to Pausanias, it was a place of worship of Octavia, the sister of Octavian Augustus.

Peirene Fountain

According to myth, the monument owes its name to the nymph Peirini, while another myth links it to Pegasus. The first indications alluding to its use date back to the Neolithic period, while the first spatial configuration dates to the geometric and archaic periods. During the 2nd c. B.C. included six chambers with access to three pumping basins. Its façade was constructed during the early Roman period, bearing Doric semi-columns framing the arched openings in front of the old chambers. Later, a rectangular yard placed to the north of the fountain was surrounded by high walls. At the center of the courtyard, the open-air fountain was created at a lower level and supplied with water through large ducts below the courtyard floor. The three-niche courtyard building was constructed in the late 4th c. A.D. During the Byzantine era, a small church was built at the southwest corner of the courtyard, which was gradually filled with earth and used as a burial ground.
