The Isthmus of Corinth is the narrow land bridge which connects the Peloponnese peninsula with the rest of the mainland of Greece, near the city of Corinth. The Isthmus was known in the ancient world as the landmark separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece. Since 1893 the Canal has run through the 6.3 km (3.9 mi) wide isthmus, effectively making the Peloponnese an island.
The Diolkos
The diolkos was a paved trackway near Corinth in Ancient Greece which enabled boats to be moved overland across the Isthmus of Corinth. The shortcut allowed ancient vessels to avoid the long and dangerous circumnavigation of the Peloponnese peninsula.
Ancient Port of Kenchreai
Kechrees was the eastern port of Corinth its peak growth was during the hundred-year period when Corinth was a Roman colony. It had always been the commercial port of Corinth. Today, what is left of the port are the remains of the adjustments and additional construction works conducted during Roman times. The alcove of the port was surrounded with tunnels and harbor facilities. At the southern breakwaters there were storerooms, nymphaeum, a temple for Isis and the early Christian Basilica of the 4th century A.D. At the northern breakwaters there was a square tower, Aphrodite’s sanctuary and various other buildings. In 53 A.D. St. Paul the Apostle disembarked on the port of Kechrees during his first trip to the city of Corinth.
