• A steep walk up: on foot it takes about 45 minutes from the Ancient Corinth village, or 5 minutes by car to the parking
• Closes mid-afternoon all year, so a morning visit leaves time for the ruins before the gates shut
• Free entry days on the first and third Sunday of each month from November to March, plus March 6, April 18, May 18, October 28 and the last weekend of September

Acrocorinth is the fortress on the steep 575 m hill above Ancient Corinth. About 3,000 meters of walls, three defensive enclosures and gate towers ring a hilltop full of ruins from many centuries: a mosque, churches, the Frankish tower, a Byzantine cistern and the Upper Peirene fountain, tied to the winged horse Pegasus. The Sanctuary of Aphrodite sits at the top, with views over the Corinthian and Saronic Gulfs.
