Amazing visit! We went with a group of 10 people and enjoyed every minute of it. I highly recommend booking an additional English speaking tour guide like we did. Ours took us through the museum, which I highly recommend, after we visited the Akrokorinthos. Her knowledge and passion for history and Corinth made this place sooo much better and intriguing!

The Temple of Apollo is about 1/4 standing. It's an impressive feature. I was there first thing in the morning, so I got photos with the sun strategically positioned. There are no restrictions on access. You can see it and get decent photos without paying to enter the Ancient Corinth site.

As we drove along the Ionian Sea between the mainland and the peninsula we stopped at the ancient temple of Apollo in the town of Corinth.
The temple is the oldest found in Greece dating back 2,600 years ago (yes there are older settlements, but this is the oldest discovered temple).
The town is a worthwhile stopping point before crossing the canal to the mainland, as it is a quiet tourist stop

Seven doric columns (out of original 38) form a characteristic symbol of ancient Corinth. The temple itself dates back to 540 BC and is part of the archeological complex.

The Archaic Temple of Apollo of Corinth is build around 540 BC. It is situated inside the Archeological Park of Korinth in the higher part of agora on the natural rock ground. Temple is build of limestone in Doric style and its columns are monolithic, made of one piece of stone, which is not usually the case. 7 columns of totally 38 (15 x 6) are still standing.

Seeing ruins in Italy, Great Britain, and now Greece does not diminish the awe in seeing these historic remains. Ponder the engineering, the art, the energy extended in creating the structures. Picture, also, the wars, natural disasters, and neglect that brought about their present state.

Rare pieces in the museum. Colossal ruins for interest and ‘classic’ photo opportunities.
Not far to include the Corinth Channel as part of a tour.

Looking from the ancient city of korinthe, the acrocorinth citadel rises in the mountains. It's impossible to miss the Temple of Apollo. It dominates the whole area of archaeology which is ancient Corinth.
Sunsets are amazing. The site is worth a visit. Awsome sights.
The remains of the temple lie on a terrace which is on the highest part of the city. From here there are wonderful views, extending as far as the Gulf of Corinth. It's a favourite spot from which to take photos, and to get an overall view of the extent of the ancient city of Corinth.
From bits of pottery found among the chippings left by the masons, the temple has been dated to around 540 BC. It was built to replace an earlier temple from the 7th C BC.
Before the excavations began which revealed the extent of the ancient city, the columns of the temple of Apollo were all that were visible. This was the only indication archaeologists had of other finds which might be discovered.

I am looking for the name of the pottery/souvenier shop across from Marino's restaurant in Ancient Corinth. The owner is an older gentleman who paints his own Greek pottery and his son's name is Yiannis. He also sells jewelry. To go into his shop you must climb 3 little steps or so and the Lecheaion Road is right outside his door practically. The exit of the Museum is also right next to his shop. I bought some jewelry from him (Jim-father) and he gave me his business card which I can't find now for the life of me. I just need the name of his store and street address. Can you help me?

I know Ancient Corinth well, I live near to it. While I do not know the names you gave, when in Ancient Corinth, if you walk to the top near to the entrance to the ancient site, on the right is a lovely store. The man paints all his work there, and his son, Stephen helps him. You will be very happy and surprised with his work, Do check it out. I was there a few days ago.

Yes, there are some fees to see the Apollo Temple, and the museum. come on early morning (8:30AM) to avoid any crowds. The good news - there are no fees to enter the Acrocorinth.
