After listening to the fascinating story of ancient Corinth from our guide, we walked into Kilix Ceramic Crafts just outside the park to see the real stuff!! Such a great experience walking through the store and having George Papamichael and staff show us so many fine examples of pottery and crafts, all handmade by local folks with exquisite painting and firing. What a beautiful store! More like a museum, no pressure to buy, just more of the kind and gentle ways of the people of Greece. We spent a long time looking and asking questions. Bought a gorgeous painted urn and had it shipped home to Alabama. It arrived, well packed! Kudos to the Kilix staff.

Kostas, our hero taxi driver, was there from the beginning. As soon as I arrived in Corinth at the train station, I was lucky enough to get in this cab, which happened to be Korinthos Taxi transfers. Instead of selling any services or excursions at this point , Kostas was courteous enough to get me straight to my hotel at a reasonable price, with a very smiley welcome. But since he was such a warm person, at the end he gave me his business card and it wasn’t until the next day we needed to get a taxi to Corinth Canal. On this trip he instead took us on an excursion on demand and was very knowledgable of the tour sites on Corinth becoming more like our Tour guide and personal driver. At each and every stop, he waited for us and got us to the next tour stop. All for amazing prices. Since that day, Kosdas was able to get us to all of our other activities no problem (wedding, pharmacy etc) and easy to get hold of when needed. Needless to say, it was reliability, efficiency, trust and personality that gives them the 5 stars!
5. Temple of Apollo

The Temple of Apollo is the most visible and obvious monument, in Ancient Corinth. Towering above the ruins of the ancient city, it can be seen from almost any vantage point - something which must have been true even 2,000 years ago. It is impressive, even in its remains and ruins and gives one a sense of just how impressive and monumental it was to the citizens and inhabitants of ancient Corinth. While the worship of the pagan god Apollo has long passed away, the remaining vestiges of his importance at the time are manifest in the magnificent remains of the Temple of Apollo to this day..

Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), "Upper Corinth", the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. "It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece," in the estimation of George Forrest.[1] Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. Along with Demetrias and Chalcis, the Acrocorinth during the Hellenistic period formed one of the so-called "Fetters of Greece" - three fortresses garrisoned by the Macedonians to secure their control of the Greek city-states. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros. Strongly recommended if you like history. Start your day with drinking a lot , I mean a lot of waters.

A must for anyone interested in seeing the sites associated with the ministry of the Apostle Paul, as well as the history, religion, and culture of the area from ancient Greek through the Roman period. For those especially interested in the Erastus inscription, be aware that it's located on the grounds around the theater, which is an area separate from the rest of the site. Cross the parking lot from the ticket office and bear to your left, and you'll see the steps down to the theater grounds, and you'll see the area marked off where the inscription is located.

It is opened every day from 8 to 20 in summer. The Museum holds inside what has been discovered by excavations in the area of ancient Corinth. I think its necessary to visit if you are visiting the archeological site! The entrance, through a patio is very nice, fulled os statues and marble plaques wich belonged to the theater, usually with battle scenes. As they were great craftsmen, there is a very good selection of works. There is pottery, figurines and tools which are prehistoric, from the geometric period, Archaic and Classical. There is a rare finding of a funeral bed of limestone from the 4thc.BC. Corinthian helmets were very know and there is a beautiful example. Recently exhibited are a pair of kouroi from 530BC which are extraordinary, made of marble from Phatos island, which was the most expensive. They were rich in order to have that funerary statue. Around 35 years and war heroes. They were found with their tombs, recently, in 2010, trying to be sold in the black market. They were excavated form Klenia in Corinthia, where another 44 tombs were found. The room dedicated to Asklepeio is great, with many votives which were dedicated to him as legs, feet, breasts, penis, ears...like exvotos. There is a marble scale statue of Asklepios sitting on a throne, from the 3rd c.BC which is something unique, because it is the exact (in small scale) one in the Temple os Asklepios in Epidauros. I really liked a terracota votive with the brain opened from the back. Also very beautiful is the room housing statues of Roman rulers, mosaics, -an excellent floor mosaic with Dyonisios head from 3rd c. BC- and wall paintings from roman times. You see how the artists tried to represent perfectly the holdings of armors. Really beautiful the one found in the Julian Basilica. And you sure will recognize the Statue Of Liberty in NY, represented by god Helios!
