A fascinating ancient city on the isthmus connecting mainland Greece to the Peloponnese peninsula, Corinth is a lovely destination for beachgoers and heritage aficionados. The modern-day city sits just a few kilometres from the ruins of what was once one of Greece’s largest cities, home to a population of around 90,000 people. Set right on the coast, our pick of the best places to stay in Corinth offers the ideal balance between beachfront bliss and cultural attractions.
Discover the sprawling ruins of Ancient Corinth on foot — and with an expert guide to delve into the details of this iconic site. Highlights include the Temple of Apollo, the Peribolos of Apollo, the ancient theatre, and the enormous agora. A far more modern feat of engineering, the 19th-century Corinth Canal, with its steep limestone walls, is a marvel. Cruise along the canal on a memorable boat trip, or cross from one side to the other by bridge.
Spend your days soaking up the sunshine at the beach, follow hiking and cycling trails through the Peloponnese countryside, and tuck in to fresh, flavoursome fare at Corinth’s inviting eateries. Sailing and swimming are brilliant in the summer months, and families will appreciate the laid-back feel at our Gurus’ choice of the best places to stay in Corinth, too.
