Marinos Rooms

The house

Marinos Rooms is the guesthouse of the Marinos family, who have been welcoming travellers in Ancient Corinth for almost forty years. It is on the edge of the village on the Argos road, a few minutes' walk from the museum and the Temple of Apollo and 1.5 km from Acrocorinth. The new building has rooms for every kind of trip, from double to quadruple, and a garden with orange trees in the shadow of the castle.

The rooms

There are doubles of 20 and 25 m², several with a view of Acrocorinth; triples of 35 m² and a deluxe quadruple of 50 m² that suits families or small groups, as well as traditional studios. All have a private bathroom and simple, modern decor. The American School, which excavates at Corinth, recommends the house to its visitors and notes that the restaurant serves guests only.

Breakfast

It is what people mention most about the house: juice from the garden's oranges, eggs from local farms, yoghurt, fruit from Corinthia, bougatsa, pies and home-made jams, served in the garden.

Getting there

By car, an hour and a quarter from Athens airport by the Corinth motorway, leaving for Ancient Corinth. It has an electric car charger. It is the logical base for seeing the site when it opens and climbing Acrocorinth before the heat.
