Overview

Embark on a memorable adventure that combines history with natural beauty on this scenic hike in Corinth.

Your day begins at the stunning Lake Vouliagmeni, a peaceful lagoon with crystal-clear waters, the perfect starting point for our journey. From there, we hike along coastal paths through lush landscapes with breathtaking sea views.

Our first stop is the Melagavi Lighthouse, a historic landmark from 1897, perched on a rocky cape overlooking the endless blue of the Corinthian Gulf.

Next, we explore the Ancient Heraion, one of Corinth’s most important ancient sanctuaries dedicated to the goddess Hera, set right by the sea. There's time for a refreshing swim at the nearby small beach with its clear, calm waters.

The hike continues to the Chapel of Saint Nicholas, a small stone-built chapel on a hill offering stunning panoramic views over the gulf and surrounding landscapes.

We complete our circular route by returning to Lake Vouliagmeni, filled with images, scents, and unforgettable moments from a hike that perfectly blends nature, history, and beauty.

An ideal experience for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and photography fans alike.
