The Examilia quarry was an important source of stone, not only for the large works nearby the Corinth Isthmus, such as the Examilia Wall and Acrocorinth, but also for works in distant places like Athens.
In this video, we explore the area, including some ruins never before filmed.
We explore the city of Elea, the first classical city of Epirus and probably the most unknown archaeological site in all of Greece.
This archaeological site can only be visited on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and the entrance costs 3 euros per person.
Unfortunately there is no public transport, it can only be accessed by car because the road is in a ruined state.

In this sanctuary, dedicated to Hades and to Persephone, it is found in excellent condition.
The Examilia Wall, or Justinian’s Wall, was a large wall that protected against land attacks in the Peloponnese.
It was built during Byzantine times and repaired many times. In this video, we visit 4 sections of the wall, the fortification, and other sites, as well as explaining its history.
In this video, we are going to explore the ruins of Isthmus, located on the Isthmus of Corinth, a few meters from the Corinth Canal and we are going to tell the story of the Isthmian Games, the Panhellenic games that were held at this site in honor of Poseidon.
The Corinth Canal is an artificial canal that allows ships to navigate from the Ionian Sea to the Aegean Sea, avoiding circumnavigating the Peloponnese peninsula, whose rocky coastline is extremely dangerous and thus saving hundreds of kilometers.
Its history involves many ups and downs, failed attempts and even battles.
