Ancient Corinth

The best plan is to enter the Corinth site from the ancient Lechaion road, on the north side of the excavated area. From here there is a general view of most of the site. Climbing up on an ancient paved road - as travelers arriving in the Lechaion harbor would have done - we come to the propylon at the entrance to the Agora. To the right of the road, here 7.5m/25ft wide, is the Basilica (A.D. first-second century); on the left there follow in succession the Roman Baths of Eurykles, a 20-seat public latrine (A.D. second century), the Precinct of Apollo and the Fountain of Peirene.

The ancient ruins of Corinth are located 7 km south-west of the city of Corinth.
