While the highlight is undoubtedly the Temple of Apollo, the site is full of impressive monuments and items. The ancient Greek city is well-preserved, and the nearby museum hosts lots of antiquity gems. I visited Ancient Corinth a couple of months ago and remained ecstatic in front of the ruins. They revealed extensive parts of Ancient Corinth together with elements of a fully organized society, and of course, the legendary Temple of Apollo. The archaeological excavations in the area, known as the Corinth Excavations, started in 1896 and continue to this day. Located straight after the Isthmus of Corinth -the narrow land bridge connecting the Peloponnese with mainland Greece- the city-state reached a population of more than 90,000 inhabitants back in 400 BC. Ancient Corinth was one of the most prominent city-states of Greek antiquity.
