The castles of Corinthia

Six forts that guarded the passes, over two days

2 days 6 stops Driving, in total roughly 68 km

Anyone who wanted to enter the Peloponnese had to come through here — and every conqueror left stone behind. From Penteskoufi facing Acrocorinth, to Angelokastro and the old fort above Trikala. Few visitors, wide views, and you will almost always have the place to yourself.
