* The Peloponnese Peninsula is located in the southern part of Greece. According to historians, this is where the origin of Ancient Greece came from. Ancient Corinth is located about 1.5-2 hours drive from Athens. The history of the city begins with the 7th millennium BC. It was a major port city of Ancient Greece. Its convenient location along the trade routes served to increase the welfare and population of the people. The city became a trading capital, and the god Apollo patronized it. In 700-600 BC, Corinth was larger than the modern capital of Greece. The best weapons were made here at that time, and ceramics were recognized all over the world. The birth of Diogenes, who preached the doctrine of a happy life, unencumbered by useless things and unnecessary worries. The Isthmian Games were held in honor of the sea god Poseidon. We will go to the Ancient City to see up close the impressive columns of the Temple of Apollo of the 6th century BC, the ancient market with the "Step of the Apostle Paul", the conservatory restored by Herod Atticus and other public buildings of significant archaeological interest. Another architectural landmark that is included in the tourist route is the ancient temple of Aphrodite. Thousands of priestesses in the temple served and glorified their goddess. Those women who had long hair enjoyed great respect and demand. The priestess's status was determined by the length of her hair. Later, the temple came under the protection of the Christian denomination, and then became a Turkish mosque.
