visitcorinthia.comLykoporia
Lykoporia lies at the western end of the Corinthian coast, where the region meets Achaea. It is a small village whose character has not been reshaped by mass tourism.
What you will find
The beach at Lykoporia is long and pebbled, with clear deep water. It is not organised along its whole length, which keeps it quiet even in high summer.
The settlement has a few shops and tavernas, while behind it the slopes climb towards the mountain villages of Evrostina.
History and character
Before it took its present name, Lykoporia was called Avgo.
The first settlers came in 1865 from Zacholi and took up farming. Lykoporia is known as the “home of plant nurseries”: saplings from here have been planted all over Greece, and its people taught the art of grafting in many parts of the country. The village stretches for about five kilometres along the Corinthian Gulf.
Practical notes
- About 55 km from Corinth.
