Korinthiakos KolposBackgroundKorinthiakos Kolpos (Κορινθιακός Κόλπος) or Gulf of Corinth is dominated by the large commercial harbor of Corinth (Κόρινθος). It is bounded on the west by the Rio-Antirio strait leading to the [[Patraikos_Kolpos|Gulf of Patras], to the north by mainland Greece, to the east by the Corinth Canal leading to the Saronic Gulf, and to the south by northern Peloponnese. The gulf is not a favored cruising ground but it is passage route of yachts coming or going from the Ionian Sea to the Aegean. Nevertheless there are here several pleasant ports and anchorages.
