Acrocorinth Description

(Local Name: Akrokórinthos) The ascent of Acrocorinth (Akrokórinthos; 575m/1,887ft) is made easier by a road which climbs to a point near the lowest gate on the west side. This commanding site was fortified in ancient times, and its defenses were maintained and developed during the Byzantine, Frankish, Turkish and Venetian periods.
