visitcorinthia.comCastle of Tarsos
The Castle of Tarsos is one of the strongholds that guarded the passes of Corinthia. It lies 52 km west of Corinth, roughly 17 km from Derveni.
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.
Closest points
- Cave of the English — 464 m

Practical notes
- Access usually means an uphill walk.
- There is no signage, lighting or railing — take care on the rocks.
- Avoid the hottest hours and the days after rain.
