Corinth Travel Blogs

  We left the ship early and got into the car....  We had decided to drive to Naphlia .... originally the ship was supposed to be docked there but they said it was too shallow of a bay so we would need to either take a bus or find our own way....   Thank goodness for a car so we…

Corinth is not as famous as Sparta or Olympia, but still, if you know its past, the place will offer a great experience. This is the place where the Corinthian order, Corinthian helmet was developed. This is the place where the first coin of Greece was created. The city was a prevailing economic po…

We rented a car (the hotel manager called and found us one for 150 euros less than anything I found on the internet).  Often car dealerships take you to the edge of town to get people out.  But with calm, patient, David at the wheel,  we drove out of Athens....YIKES... DON…

We came to modern Corinth before lunch and stopped at the supermarket there.  After picking up some bread, lunchmeat, bananas, bagel chips, and water, we asked around for directions to where we wanted to go.  There were two things in Corinth we wanted to see - first, the modern Corinth ca…

Pictures from my three months of living in Athens Greece, side trips to Aegina and Santorini (also Cairo and Barcelona). Studied at City University downtown, lived in Illisia, embraced being a foreign local. Hellas for always.

Greece - one of the most romantic places in the World ;)

***As a foreword to this note, I'd like to thank all the non-english speaking greeks who helped me in finding my directions. I'll never forget their smiles and desperate gestures to make me understand where to go. :-) ***Going to Corinth's old agora and Acrocorinth has proven quite a challenge.…

Hello! From 3 oct. til 10 oct I made a schooltrip to Greece, the Pelopennossos. (I don't know if I write it as it belongs) But it was very very nice and cosy. I've been to Delphi, Olympia, Pylos, Mykene, Korinthe, and many more. Check the pictures!

I had an amazing time in Greece!!

Greece is my favorite place in the world so far. Italy and Turkey are both awesome, but I just fell in love with Greece. I can't wait to go back.

Just photos with brief explanations from 90 days traveling in Greece, May-August, 2003. Mostly Cycladic islands and archaeology, because I was there as an archaeology student. Explanations may be forthcoming!

Day 23, April 21 We had to be up early this AM for our Corinth day tour.  We grabbed some croissants at the corner store on the way to Hotel Attalos.  Almost as soon as we got there, around 0730, a bus pulled up and a girl asked us, "Are you Leslie Spence?"  It irks me that my email…
