A Gateway to Ancient Wonders
Corinthia is home to Ancient Corinth, one of the most important city-states of antiquity. Walking through the ruins of the Temple of Apollo, you can almost hear the echoes of a bustling Greco-Roman city that once thrived with traders, philosophers, and artisans. Just nearby stands the Acrocorinth, a towering fortress perched above the plains, offering panoramic views and a thrilling glimpse into the area’s medieval past.
The Corinth Canal: A Marvel of Engineering
No trip to the region is complete without seeing the Corinth Canal—a narrow, man-made waterway slicing through rock to connect the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Whether viewed from the bridge or during a boat ride, this 19th-century engineering feat is both dramatic and photogenic.
Nature’s Retreat
Beyond its historical treasures, Corinthia offers a lush landscape ideal for nature lovers. Head to Lake Stymphalia, surrounded by myths of Hercules and tranquil marshes, or hike through the Ziria Mountains near Trikala Corinthias—an alpine escape with ski resorts in winter and cool, pine-covered trails in summer.
Seaside Serenity
The coastal towns of Loutraki, Xylokastro, and Kiato boast laid-back beaches, fresh seafood, and thermal spas. Loutraki, in particular, is famous for its natural mineral springs, perfect for a rejuvenating retreat.
Local Flavors & Culture
Corinthia's villages and towns still preserve the essence of rural Greek life. Taste local wines, olives, and cheeses, or join a village festival where music, dance, and hospitality take center stage. The Nemea wine region, just a short drive away, is a must for oenophiles.
