The town was an important seaport held under a succession of royal houses in the Middle Ages as part of the lordship of Argos and Nauplia, held initially by the de la Roche following the Fourth Crusade before coming under the Republic of Venice and, lastly, the Ottoman Empire. The town was the capital of the First Hellenic Republic and of the Kingdom of Greece, from the start of the Greek Revolution in 1821 until 1834.

Ancient Corinth - Greece HD Travel Channel
In ancient Corinth in Greece, only the remains of the Temple of Zeus bear witness from the archaic city. Otherwise, the ruins are strongly influenced by the Roman past. In the centre of the Agora one can still recognize the speaker's platform where the apostle Paulus had to justify himself before the Roman dictators.
The well house of the Peirene Fountain is in good conditon; Peirene, a nymph in Greek mythology, is said to be the daughter of the river god Asospus. Many statues once surrounded the large pool.
The wide Lechaion Road, the main shopping street of Ancient Corinth today, still conveys the vitality of yore.
From the theater, only the foundations are still visible.
The adjacent museum displays rich murals, mosaics and sculptures.
A mighty citadel rises on a hill above the ancient town. Byzantines, Franks, Ottomans and Venetians have all left their traces here.

TRAVEL VLOG || MY ROAD TRIP TO NAFPLIO TOWN PART TWO|| PLACES TO VISIT IN GREECE.
Old Nafplio (or Nafplion) is one of the most beautiful towns in Greece. The former capital of the country may remind visitors of the Plaka in Athens, but it's on the sea. With two mountains crowned by medieval fortresses overlooking the town and the small island fortress called the Bourtzi that once protected the harbor, Nafplio is full of restaurants, shops, cafes, beautiful old buildings,hotels of all catagories and a beach that you can walk to in ten minutes. For people who want to visit an island but don't like boats, Nafplio is a good alternative and just a 2 hour drive from Athens. It is also convenient to the important ancient sites of Myceneae, Epidavros, Nemea, Argos and Corinth. Nafplio has a mild winter (they grow oranges here) and is one of the best places to visit in the off-season.

Ο Άρειος Πάγος είναι βραχώδης λόφος βορειοδυτικά της Ακρόπολης
Άρειος Πάγος σημαίνει ο βράχος του (θεού) Άρη.
Κατά την ελληνική μυθολογία ο θεός Άρης δικάστηκε εκεί από τους Θεούς του Ολύμπου για το φόνο του γιου του Ποσειδώνα Αλιρρόθιου.
Στους κλασσικούς χρόνους, λειτουργούσε σαν δικαστήριο για ανθρωποκτονίες εκ προμελέτης.
Άρειος Πάγος ονομάζεται ανώτερο δικαστήριο της σύγχρονης Ελλάδας.
Εδώ ήταν ο αθηναϊκός βωμός στον «Άγνωστο Θεό», όπου ο Απόστολος Παύλος έκανε την περίφημη ομιλία του.
