Ancient Diolkos

☆ Save to my plan

Ancient Diolkos is recorded among the archaeological sites of the region. It lies 2.8 km east of Corinth, roughly 2.8 km from Corinth.

What to expect

Corinthia was a crossing, a harbour and a frontier all at once, and its ground is full of remains from every period. Most such sites are open ground with no visitor infrastructure.
