Ancient Corinth - Peloponnese Greece!
What a day! We still can't believe how much history is in this country and we're enjoying soaking it up!
After leaving Kiato we headed to Ancient Corinth, a city founded in 700 BC! It was great to walk around the ruins thinking of all the people that have lived, visited and walked through this ancient city.

We said goodbye to our jobs, sold all our belongings, and left Australia on a one-way ticket to Shanghai with just each other and our backpacks! We plan to travel the world for a year, see as much as possible, meet as many people as we can, and most importantly MAKE OUR MONEY LAST!

GREECE: Huge ship crossing historic CORINTH CANAL, spectacular views
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit The Corinth Canal which connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea n Greece. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island.The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for most modern ships. Nowadays it has little economic importance and is mainly a tourist attraction.

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.

Im antiken Korinth in Griechenland zeugen nur noch die Reste des Zeustempels von der archaischen Stadt. Ansonsten sind die Ruinen stark von der römischen Vergangenheit geprägt.
Im Zentrum der Agora ist die Rednerbühne erkennbar vor der sich der Apostel Paulus vor den römischen Machthabern verantworten musste.
Gut erhalten ist das Brunnenhaus der Quelle der Peirene, einer Nymphe der griechischen Mythologie. Viele Statuen umgaben einst das große Schwimmbecken.
Die breite Lechaion-Straße, die Einkaufsstrasse Korinths, vermittelt noch heute die Vitalität, die sich hier einst gezeigt hat.
Vom Theater sind nur noch die Grundmauern erkennbar.
Das benachbarte Museum zeigt reichhaltige Wandmalereien, Mosaike und Plastiken.
Über der antiken Stadt erhebt sich auf einem Hügel eine gewaltige Zitadelle. Byzantiner, Franken, Osmanen und Venezianer haben hier ihre Spuren hinterlassen.

Athens | Getting Around Attica
We are going to look at using the National Railway System and the long-distance bus services in order to get around greater Attica and mainland Greece. There are various options to get you to your destination comfortably at surprisingly low prices. For travel within the provinences of Athens, the greater Attica, you can use the orange intercity bus which in Greek is called KTEL bus and you can get to great destinations, such as Marathon or Cape Sounion, or in between beach rides quickly and on a budget!There are two locations that you can find these orange KTEL buses. The first is located at Pedio Areos area within 5 minutes of walking distance from the Victoria metro station and very near to the Natioanl Archeological Museum and the second is on the square called Platia agion Asomaton at the historical center which is located right on the Thision metro station. If you are traveling beyond Attica and prefer the bus, you can catch a ride from the Kifissos Bus Terminal and the Liosion bus terminal on the dark green and white KTEL buses, with routes to all major cities on the Greek Mainland, and even to a few islands that include a ferry boat ride! If you are travilling to thessalonica you need to remember that there is an extra KTEL bus lien at the Pedio Areos are. For the railway fans, you can visit historic Corinth and beach-side Kiato by taking the state-of-the-art Suburban Railway, which starts at the Airport, stops at Neratziotissa hube station and proceeds to either Athens downtown or all the way to Corinth and Kiato, all in less than 90 minutes! You can also connect with the National Railway at Central Railway station called Larissa station or head all the way to the port of Pireas to catch a ship to the islands!Remember that the Suburban Railroad trains have user-friendly doors, so make sure you push the doors open as they politely wait for you to proceed! If you plan to visit mainland Greece or continue traveling through Europe by train, then you can connect to OSE National Railways by taking the Suburban Railway or the Metro to Larissa station or the central railway station and proceed to dozens of locations on mainland Greece and Europe. There are great discounts online at the OSE website, and you can even select where you will sit on the train online to make sure you have a window seat on your journey! This is the end of your journey. If you need more information make sure and look at our webtv to find more videos about Athens. Thanks for watching!
