| Thessaloniki and Corinth Canal: This view spans the region from Thessaloniki southwestward to the Gulf of Corinth and the Corinth Canal, the village and archeological site of Ancient Corinth, and the peak of Acrocorinth which rises above the southern perimeter of the site. Ancient Corinth rivaled Athens in wealth and influence, particularly from the 8th through 2nd centuries B.C. One can stand in the remains of a Neolithic settlement and see an astounding progression of Archaic, Classic, Hellenic, Roman, Byzantine, Frankish and Turkish structures. Acrocorinth is crowned with an 18th-century Turkish fortress. |
