Corinthia Has Been
Waiting for You to Notice It
Most people drive through Corinthia on the way to somewhere else. That is their loss and, quietly, your gain.
The Corinthian Gulf stretches out in front of you, calm and wide, with the mountains of central Greece on the opposite shore.
Most people drive through Corinthia on the way to somewhere else. That is their loss and, quietly, your gain. The region sits between Athens and the Peloponnese, close enough to the city to reach without effort, far enough to feel like a different world entirely.
The light here is different from the light in the islands. Softer in the morning, golden in the afternoon, and at dusk it does something to the water that is difficult to describe and very easy to remember.
Althea sits on the gentle hills of Ano Loutro, five minutes from the sea, at the center of a region that rewards the curious and rests the tired in equal measure.
The Sea Is Closer Than You Think
The private beach of Althea is five minutes from the resort by shuttle — a quiet stretch of coastline reserved for guests, with comfortable sunbeds and the kind of privacy that public beaches cannot offer.
The Corinthian Gulf is calm by nature. The water is clean, the temperature generous from early summer through October, and the experience of swimming here feels unhurried in a way that the more crowded Aegean beaches rarely do.
For those who want to explore further, the coastline of Xylokastro and the surrounding area offers a series of smaller beaches worth finding — some with tavernas, some with nothing at all, which is sometimes exactly what you need.
A Region With More History
Than It Gets Credit For
Corinthia is one of the most historically layered regions in Greece and one of the least overrun by tourism, which makes it a rare thing — a place where the ancient world is still legible and still quiet. Althea is a base as much as it is a destination. The region around it is worth exploring and we are happy to help you do exactly that.
Ancient Corinth
45 min by carOne of the most powerful city-states of antiquity. The archaeological site and museum hold their own against anything in Attica.
Acrocorinth
45 min by carThe fortified hill rising above the ancient city. A climb that earns its view.
Corinth Canal
40 min by carOne of the great feats of nineteenth-century engineering. It still stops people in their tracks when they see it for the first time.
Xylokastro
10 min by carA seafront promenade, good coffee, local fish, and the feeling of a place that has not been arranged for visitors.
Epidaurus
1.5 hr by carThe ancient theatre of Epidaurus, set in a valley of perfect acoustics. One of Greece's most moving sites.
Mystras
2 hr by carThe medieval city rising above the Peloponnese. A UNESCO World Heritage Site worth a full day.
Mycenae
1 hr by carThe citadel of Agamemnon. One of the most significant sites of ancient Greece — the Lion Gate alone justifies the journey.
Sixty Minutes
From Athens
Close enough to be spontaneous. Far enough to feel completely removed from the city you left behind.
