Worth visiting!
It is an easy and interesting trip from Athens
Very scenic, nice ruins, an easy trip from Athens.
See where St. Paul preached to his flock.

It was a Black Trans-Am, just like the car Burt Reynolds drove in Smokey and the Bandit.
It was an oddity in the Greek countryside.
When it was stopped a crowd always came to check it out.

Mycenae and Nafplion have excellent hotels and restaurants -- and both are about an hour's drive from Corinth. In fact, the entire modern town of Corinth (pop. 24,000) has remarkably little to recommend it. The town was moved here in 1834, after an earthquake devastated the settlement at ancient Corinth; successive earthquakes in 1858, 1928, and 1981 destroyed virtually every interesting building in the new town. Corinth is now a thicket of undistinguished, flat-roofed buildings, supposedly built to withstand future quakes.
