Corinthia, a land with a history that stretches deep into time, is a place where the power of nature meets myth and tradition.
At the gateway to the Peloponnese stands the famous Corinth Canal – the passage that both connected and divided Attica and the Peloponnese, a marvel of engineering since antiquity.
Mythology embraces this land: here ruled Sisyphus, the cunning king who deceived the gods, while Nemea hosted Hercules’ legendary labor of the lion and remains to this day a sacred place of memory and renowned wine production. The vineyards of Nemea produce the famous "Agiorgitiko" wine, one of Greece’s finest, preserving a tradition that spans centuries.
The nature of Corinthia is as diverse as its history. Majestic mountains such as Mount Ziria and Mount Dourdouvana rise with lush forests and alpine meadows. Narrow, dramatic gorges invite exploration, while the shores of the Corinthian Gulf – from Loutraki to Xylokastro – offer moments of pure seaside relaxation.
Lighthouses at the edges of the region, such as at Heraion of Perachora, stand proudly, guarding seas and secrets. Coastal routes meet rugged mountain beauty, making Corinthia a place where contrasts blend in perfect harmony.
A four-day journey in Corinthia is a trip through time and nature: from ancient monuments and myths to the vineyards and wines of Nemea, from forests and mountains to beaches and lighthouses, this land knows how to enchant every visitor.
