straight-line distances
Velo is one of the most productive corners of Corinthia. It lies on the plain between Kiato and Nerantza, in a belt that lives off the land.
The land and its produce
The area is known for its vineyards and for currants — the Corinthian currant gave the region international fame for centuries and travelled the world carrying the name of the place itself. Alongside grow citrus, olives and vegetables.
What you will find
Velo is not a tourist destination, and that is exactly where its interest lies: a market, bakeries, traditional cafes and the everyday life of a Greek farming town. The sea is a few minutes away.
Practical notes
- About 20 km from Corinth, next to Kiato.
- A good stop for local produce.
- Combine it with Sikyon and the wineries of the area.
