The temple of Apollo. Corinth was an important commercial center in its heyday. The Corinthians were cultured and sophisticated people. It was a very worldly society.
The site is fenced in and it was closed by the time we got there. The sun was fast setting and we didn't have more daylight hours to take the pictures. I have to find a big enough gape in the fence so I can stick my camera through. We walked around the periphery trying to get a better vantage point. Pretty soon we had to quit because it was getting dark and the last bus back to Corinth was at 7.30 so we sat on a wall to wait for the bus not knowing if it'll pass by. A taxi came to ask us to take his cab, he said, 3 euros. So we hopped in for the ten minute ride back to Corinth. I paid him 10 euros, the cost of gas is so high. St Paul made 2 trips to Corinth and wrote 2 letters to them. At the closing of second Corinthians, he said he was going to visit them a third time. He never made it, he came shipped to Rome to await his appeal.
