Akrokorinthos

(Castles – Treasures of Greece)

The weird shadow over the plains of Korinthos. The hollow sound of a forgotten legend. The guardian of Morias. The most ancient yet the strongest castle in the whole region of Peloponnese. This is Akrokorinthos. It was built during the reign of the tyrant Periandros in the 7th Century BC. Today, beyond its walls lie the ruins of the ancient and the medieval towns.
