The ancient city of Corinth is located in a strategic place between the Aegean and the Ionian Sea — exactly where Greece is at its narrowest. It's location between two seas made Corinth the “Venice of Antiquity,” with enormous prosperity through tolls on trade routes. Corinth grew into a true city-state (polis) in the 8th century BC. Corinth was also an important religious center, especially for the goddess Aphrodite. On the Acrocorinth mountain stood her famous temple, where—according to tradition—more than 1,000 priestesses (sacred courtesans) served. The ancient city has been preserved as ruins and can be visited. We arrived there at sunset, so the site was closed, but we were still able to make this video
