Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth

The Roman-era forum of Corinth is dominated by the mid-6th-century BC Doric Temple of Apollo, of whose 38 columns seven still stand, with an archaeological museum on site; the modern town lies about 5 km north-east. Above it, Acrocorinth is a monolithic rock crowned by three circuit walls, its summit once holding a temple of Aphrodite later used as a church and then a mosque. The suburban railway (Proastiakos) reaches Corinth from Athens, with a local connection or taxi for the last few kilometres.
