    Definitely worth visiting and easy to do on a day trip from Athens. Small but packed museum. Lots worth seeing. Don’t miss the mosaics (one above a doorway before the prehistoric room is made with sea pebbles rather than tiles), especially the one with the two bulls - look at it from one side and then from the other - the bull you see from the back is looking in two different directions depending on where you stand. Outdoors site is extremely interesting too - walk where the Apostle Paul walked almost 2000 years ago and see the Vima where he would speak from.

    We didn’t expect it to be THAT good. Small but informative. Nice and friendly staff. Many interesting and unique statues and reliefs. The ticket cost is included in the price of the Archeological Site of 12€ for an adult and twice reduced for children.

    What an amazing place! The museum is very well organised. The artifacts are logically exhibited. Allow for an hour and a half for your visit to make it worth your while.

    Nice place to see, but €8 can be a bit pricy. Depends on what you like. We didn't like very jumpy workers 👮 that didn't let to take photos inside the museum. No one uses flash anymore, but photo is not hurting anyone anymore... Its fine for you to scan QR code with smartphone, but nit taking a photo 🗣️🙎🙅🤷

    Definitely worth a visit! The museum was small, but there were so many amazing things to see in there! They had very detailed statues and even skeletons to see. The archeological site has quite a bit for you to see, along with signs to read about the places, so you know what’s going on, even if you don’t have a tour guide.

    It's a must visit site. The history is just awe inspiring. There are plenty of eating places right outside the exit gate in the little village.

    Wonderful archeological site. Several spots give you a sense of life in Corinth. The museum has a number of wonderful pieces recovered from the site. We’ll worth a visit.

    One of the best museums I have visited in Greece! The employees are helpful and percipient, the exhibits are nicely arranged and they are all accompanied with extensive info and, overall, it was totally worth the visit. The site is simply riveting.

    I would recommend you secure a tour guide. We had an incredible Tour Guide that shared from a Christian Biblical view point.

    The museum is fairly small but nicely located in the middle of the ruins. It's been renovated recently and has a lot of explanations for most of its artefacts, explaining life in ancient Corinth in a well structured fashion. Only the final room is lacking explanations.

  • 5/5 David H. 9 months ago on Google
    Best have guide with in depth knowledge otherwise just ruins although museum is good

  • 5/5 Liam O. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing ancient ruins and lovely village beside it. Very exposed for hot days so advise cooler days or evenings

  • 5/5 Agnieszka S. 9 months ago on Google
    Really interesting museum to learn more about the history of the region. I recommend it to anyone who's into that.

  • 5/5 Christian �. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice collection with lots of information about excavations from ancient Corinth and the surrounding areas. The ruins and Temple of Apollon are in good shape and worth a visit. Nearby is the Asklipios and ancient theatre that you can see for free. Entrance is 8€.

    We had an excellent local guide who explained the Beautiful history of Corinthian history

  • 5/5 H ten H. 1 year ago on Google
    An very interesting historical place with a relevant museum with many ancient corinthial remains. It was beautiful and the textbords, referring towards the museal places were nore than sufficient to understand what you saw. Highlight for us was the place where Gallio sat as ge was confronted with the Jews who accused Paul of breaking their laws

    Some wonderful artifacts there!

  • 5/5 Penny M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good to be back to see the sites in Ancient Corinth after so many years.

  • 5/5 Caleb B. 2 years ago on Google
    A must see if you visit Greece. Ancient Cortinth has impressive ruins and a great museum.

  • 5/5 ded m. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the nicest museums I have ever visited. Aldough their collection wasn't that large it was displayed pretty well. One of the most amazing things was a speaker with a sensor that played an ancient poem at the perfect volume(loud enough to hear it, but no so loud that it becomes obnoxious) after you held your hand above it. I really recommend this place.

  • 5/5 M R. 1 year ago on Google
    Magnificent ancient and medieval archaeological site and the location of the Temple of Apollo. The site itself is well documented. The historical museum contains many artifacts that you can study very closely. There is a modest fee of 8€ (2022 rate) and plenty of staff to answer questions. I highly recommend stopping here if you are nearby.

    One of my favorite museums in Greece

  • 4/5 Frank G. 2 years ago on Google
    A fascinating glimpse into the past. A small, but excellent collection of artifacts in an amazing setting!

  • 4/5 Christian W. 2 years ago on Google
    Good museum (and, not too large), having some items from left both sides of the canal of Corinth on display, covering a large time period of almost 2.500 years. Insightful, especially because it's relative small and not overwhelming.

  • 5/5 Patrick R. 2 years ago on Google
    The collection of statues and pottery found at this museum is truly beautiful! It’s amazing to see the level of detail that the artisans of Ancient Corinth could capture in their pottery and statues. It is almost unbelievable how well preserved some of these pieces are. The remains of the agora and temples are impressive to see as well.

  • 4/5 scott s. 2 years ago on Google
    Accessible walk through agora and Apollo temple. Stolen statues recovered leading to a treasure trove of many more artifacts.

  • 5/5 Zinzi B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great finds all in one place! Definitely worth the visit!

    No words. A must see. It is beautiful.
