Archaeological Site of Isthmia
Isthmia is a small village in the northeast of Greece, situated on the Isthmos of Corinth, near to the city of Corinth and close to the Saronic Gulf. This village has been inhabited since prehistoric times, and there are many ancient ruins in the area, including an acropolis dating from the Mycenaean period. The most famous attraction in Isthmia is probably the Temple of Poseidon, which was built in about 440 BC and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The ancient fortress of Acrocorinth, located on a rocky outcropping overlooking the city of Corinth, was one of the most strategically important sites in all of Greece. Its commanding view and strong fortifications made it an ideal place to guard the entrance to the Peloponnese peninsula. The first fortifications were built by the Mycenaeans in the 13th century BC, but the site saw its greatest development during the Byzantine period.

Corinth Canal
The Corinth canal is a man-made waterway that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the Isthmus of Corinth, providing a shortcut for shipping between the two seas. The canal was built between 1882 and 1893 and has been renovated several times since then. Today, it is used by both merchant vessels and passenger boats.
