Non Licet Omnibus Adire Corinthum

Since we were trapped in the city for Friday morning to get out tb tests, and we weren't sure when we would need to be back to have them read, instead of ranging far afield this weekend we went to Corinth, a place where pretty much everyone can go, due to the fact that it is a short hour and a half bus ride from Athens.

The bus ride from Athens actually brought us in to modern Corinth, which is a few kilometers downhill from Ancient Corinth. From the modern city we caught another bus to the ancient city, directed by my guidebook, which was supremely unhelpful in this case. We also had to split up-as happens to me all the time, I planned the trip and, next thing I knew, 10 people were getting on the bus.
The Fountain of Glauke, with the archaeological museum and Acrocorinth in the background. We thought it was vaguely (or more than vaguely?) ironic for a fountain to be named after someone who was burned to death.
Temple! This is the temple of Apollo, and if you will kindly direct your eyes to the top of the columns, you will see that this is a Doric temple, not a Corinthian one.
The temple of Apollo from the other side. The site itself was very pretty- lovely views of Attica off in the distance and the Peloponnese, as well as the gulf of Corinth.
The site was very nice. Explanations were extremely sparse, but since there were a decent number of inscriptions and pretty intact ruins, the classics and archaeology students among us could identify what was what.

Oh, wait. We were all classics and archaeology students. Finally, some Corinthian columns!
