Corinth

Overview

Corinth makes a pleasant daytrip by bus from Athens . The city can be divided in the new and the old town. The former shows the not really inviting industrial side of the city, scarred by earthquakes. The latter shows the ruins of the Roman times when Corinth was the capital of Greece. The old Roman market place, the museum and the fountain of Pereine are worth a visit. From the top of the 'Acrocorinth', one can have some nice views of the ancient lower town.
