☆ Save to my plan

Castle of Ampiditsa is one of the strongholds that guarded the passes of Corinthia. It lies 18.7 km south of Corinth.

What to expect

Whoever held Corinthia held the way into the Peloponnese, so the region filled with small castles and towers at every critical point. Most survive as ruins standing in open country.
