Lechaio lies on the Corinthian Gulf coast, a few kilometres west of Corinth. The modern village is built beside the ancient western harbour of Corinth, one of the two that made the city rich.
What you will see
The outlines of the ancient harbour basins are still visible, while the most striking monument is the enormous Early Christian basilica of the 5th century — among the largest churches ever built in the Byzantine world.
The beach is long and quiet, looking out over the gulf to the mountains of central Greece.
