☆ Save to my plan

Goulas of Kaisari belongs to the network of medieval forts across the region. It lies 33.5 km west of Corinth, roughly 16.6 km from Xylokastro.

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.
