Ancient Diolkos And Isthmus

Diolkos arose from the need for quick passage of vessels through the Saronic to the Corinthian Gulf and vice versa, was built at the beginning of the 6th century and is connected with the tyranny of Periander at Corinth. From Loutraki you can walk the coastal path and exit the side of the Isthmus called Poseidonia. Crossing the isthmus, to the side of Corinth you can still see remnants of Diolkos.
