Lechaeum, Archaeological site in Corinth Municipality, Greece
The archaeological remains of Lechaeum include harbor structures, warehouses, and dock facilities that once supported maritime trade across the Mediterranean Sea.
During the 5th century BC, Lechaeum developed into a major western port of ancient Corinth, connecting Greece with trade routes across Asia Minor.
Archaeological excavations at Lechaeum have uncovered pottery, coins, and tools that demonstrate the daily activities of merchants and sailors in ancient times.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through guided tours that depart from Corinth, with informational panels explaining the significance of different structures.
The port facilities at Lechaeum incorporated advanced engineering techniques that allowed ships to dock and unload goods efficiently in varying weather conditions.
