Corinth, Greece

18 December 2018

I took a train from Athens to Corinth. While there I visited the Corinth Canal, Ancient Corinth, and the Acrocorinth.

Before the Corinth Canal was completed, in ancient times boats would be pulled along this path to get between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf. Now all that’s left is this small bit of very old stone.

Those stones are well worn and slick. It’s fun to imagine all of the people who walked up them over hundreds and hundreds of years.

I’m standing on what’s left of a wall bordering the Acrocorinth. The Gulf of Corinth is the body of water, and the modern city of Corinth (or Korinthos) is on the right.
