Corinth is located about 78 km southwest of Athens, Greece. Corinth was an important city in ancient Greece and it played a major role in the missionary work of the Apostle Paul. The ruins of ancient Corinth, a short drive from the modern city of Corinth, are spread around the base of the rock of Acrocorinth, which forms a natural acropolis for the city.
Today, Corinth is the second largest city in the Peloponnese with several sites of interest to pilgrims and tourists. The town centre is also home to some surprisingly glamorous shops and bars for a relatively small town, as well as high quality local leather and jewellery outlets.
