Corinth Corinth, home of the ancient city state of the same name. There's actually 2 Corinths. Ancient Corinth, the original site was destroyed in the earthquake of 1858 and New Corinth was built after this, in and around the ancient Corinth. Most people will come to Corinth to go see the interesting stuff in the old part of Corinth. I arrived by train from Athens. I have to say, the train staff in Athens are surly and utterly unhelpful. Trains from Larissis station in Athens do not go direct to Corinth, there's a change at the next stop, with a 10 minute walk to Proastiako and from there, to Corinth. Something the staff at the train station could not be bothered to tell me. Only my usual inquiries of fellow passengers got me to the right interchange station. Old Corinth is about 40 minutes by bus from the new part, there's a bus stop where hourly buses pick up passengers for the ride to the archaeological site. There's little English either at the bus stop or the buses, but the bus stop display something like "????????" for Corinth and the buses have "ARXAIA", displayed. Then you'll know when you get there because only obviously tourists will still be on the bus, and the bus drivers shouts something in Greek. The best preserved building is the Temple of Apollo, almost dominating the other ruins in it's splendour: The Peirene Fountain is also well preserved: The ruins of the basilica, is ruins
