- José CruzNaples, Italy3 contributionsOne should not miss it!Small museum yet the artifacts were beautifully chosen and very representative of the history and past of this very important city. The concept and showcase are also very relevant to the exposition. Don’t be afraid to ask questions to the guides because they’re simply the nicest and most helpful people you’ll find.

I especially loved the statues which showed the clothing worn by everyday Romans as well as soldiers.Visited May 2023Written June 9, 2023
- Chris WNafplio, Greece15 contributionsSpoilt by staffThe museum and site itself was very good....but was spoilt by being repremanded by 'overenthuiastic' staff. I am quite small and leaned over something to look inside (told off!). Later my foot went slightly too close to the writing on the wall (my eyesight is not so good and I could not read it)... told off again! If you do not want people to touch, put a barrier round as in other museums (I have visited many). This completely ruined the experience for me and I just wanted to leave.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 16, 2023

This museum stands in this amazing little village as the introduction to the larger museum of Nafplio. You should visit both. Nafplio museum has a larger collection of Corinthian ceramics. You will be surprised of their decorative drawings. Picasso must have taken a lot of ideas!!! There is modern art on them! Amazing really!

Corinth, Paul’s beloved city and site of his most extensive ministry. Dominated by the Acro-Corinth rising 1,700 feet above the ruins, the marketplace is laid out exactly as it stood in the days of the great Apostle. We saw the bema (the judgment seat) where Paul stood before Galilo and preached (Acts 18). The museum contains a superb collection of artifacts portraying life in ancient Corinth.

It was quite hard to find out how to get to the historical city (ancient Greece - BC) in Corinth without taking a half-day cruise. But, we don´t need to pay for the half-day trip, it costs too much and you don´t have enough time to admire everything in a good manner.
Take the metro and get off at Doukissis Plakentias station. At the station look for the attendant or self-service machines and buy the round trip ticket (it's cheaper, 14 euros for round trip). If you don´t find attendant and the machines are not working (what happened to us) take the train and pay the ticket on the train (despite the warning, you will not be fined). At Doukissis Plakentias station, metro and train are running at the same line, so look for the display to see what time your train is going to get there. The trip takes around one hour and at the Corinth station, look for a taxi (60 euros) to visit the Corinth Canal, the ruins + museum and the Castle. Before you tour, make sure you have got water and a snack at the station.
To visit Corinth Canal, ask taxi driver to dropping you off and picking you up 30 minutes later, to visit ruins and museum 90 minutes later and more 90 minutes to visit the Castle. They will offer a full package with less time, but at the end they will agree with the time you stipulate. The castle closes at 15-00 hours in summer, then should start visiting the castle. The ruins and the museum close later.
You should start your tour, at least at 10 a.m. to allow plenty of time.

It's a very nice museum but I recommend you to spend not more than 30minutes there as it's not very big, couldn't be compared to other museums like in Olimpia or Delphi. However it's worth to see as they have many artifacts from ancient Corinth well presented there.
Before you even go there please also check the opening hours, cause they can be changed every day. Then you will be sure you won't travel for nothing to see only closed door.
The entrance fee (which includes also the museum) is 6 euros (3e reducted for children and students with ISIC card).

If you are vacationing or cruising to Athens, then Corinth, with it's mega history of greatness is not to be missed. About 1:15 drive from Athens. It goes fast as the scenery is mostly lake side views). Bring a travel book as the bus ride is a great time to read up on the history of Corinth and the things you will see. The admission price is only 6 Euros and "that" covers both the outdoor ruins of the Temple of Zeus, the agora and more, PLUS the museum. It's small (both indoors and outdoors) and easy to navigate. In my opinion, has treasures that should merit more national pride. Interesting groupings of "legs" and "busts", make for fun viewing. There are artifacts from the Acro-Corinth (the Acropolis of Corinth) that started being recovered in the late l800s. You will see influences of Roman, Greek and Byzantine in the statues, pottery, mosaics, and sarcophagi. There are 4 rooms plus the outdoors area. The rooms are arranged to give you the maximum ease of understanding the treasures from the Geometric, Archaic, and Classical times. For those interesting in the history of health, the Asklepieion room contains mainly votives from the Ancient Corinth's Asklepieion (healing center named after Asklepius God of Medicine).

Did you take this tour out of Athens and did you have a guide explaining what you were looking at? If so what tour company did you use?

Yes, we took the tour with Athens included. Unfortunately we did not have a guided tour inside the museum as our driver only have licence to show us around the city and not inside the museum. But we had a guide map with all the points we wanted to see inside.
