"Not everyone can sail to Corinth," noted the geographer and historian Strabo in the 1st century BC, wishing to show that in antiquity Corinth was a wealthy city that required a heavy purse. It was a major commercial and maritime centre of the ancient world, connecting the Peloponnese with mainland Greece via the Isthmus passage.
Today, Corinth is open to all visitors, combining a rich history, beautiful seas, high mountains, and an impressive variety of landscapes.
Built by the sea, the modern city was reborn after the great earthquake of 1858 and features excellent urban planning, beautiful parks, squares, and a vibrant harbour. Its pedestrianised centre is ideal for walks, shopping, and relaxation.
Its historical sites and monuments, such as the archaeological site of Ancient Corinth with the temple of Apollo, bear witness to its glorious past.
Corinthia is an ideal destination all year round. Wonderful beaches and luxury resorts stretch out in the lowlands on both the Gulf of Corinth and Saronic Gulf, among the orange, lemon, apricot, and olive trees. In the highlands, on the slopes of the fir-covered Ziria, the second highest mountain in the Peloponnese, the nature feels alpine. Here there are lakes, picturesque villages with exceptional architecture, and beautiful squares with plane trees.
Allow Corinthia to seduce you, with its sea, high mountains, lakes, and ancient myths, all becoming part of your most incredible memories and excursions.
