Corinthia Regional Unit

Corinthia Regional Unit is an administrative area in northern Peloponnese that includes coastline along the Saronic Gulf and mountain terrain further inland. The region contains several towns and many small settlements connected by road networks throughout the territory.

The region changed from a prefecture to a regional unit in 2011 through the Kallikratis Plan while keeping its territorial borders unchanged. This administrative reform combined several smaller districts under a unified structure.

Local communities maintain traditional crafts and cooking methods that have been passed down for generations. Visitors can observe how these customs shape daily life and celebrations throughout the towns and villages.

The region is easily accessible by major highways and simple to navigate by car. Main towns such as Corinth, Loutraki, Kiato, and Xylokastro serve as good bases for accommodation and supplies.

Natural thermal springs are scattered across the region and have been valued for centuries for their healing properties. Visitors today can still seek out these warm waters and experience the same therapeutic benefits that travelers appreciated in earlier times.
