The Aristocratic Coast of Poetic Inspiration with Guaranteed Accessibility
Sykia Beach is one of the most historic, stately and picturesque seaside destinations in Corinth. It is located on the Corinthian Gulf, in the homonymous traditional settlement that is the natural, eastern continuation of the city of Xylokastro. Its great advantage is its unique, nostalgic atmosphere, as the coast is framed by historic mansions and neoclassical buildings. Among these, the famous villa of the poet Angelos Sikelianos stands out, which was a meeting point for the world's intellectuals, giving the area an unchanging spiritual and aristocratic aura.
