This municipality at the eastern end of the Gulf of Corinth combines the spa and resort town of Loutraki with Perachora and Agioi Theodoroi.
Loutraki is known for its thermal springs, seafront and Mount Geraneia behind it. The Heraion of Perachora, a sanctuary of Hera, sits on a headland with views, near Lake Vouliagmeni. The area is only about an hour from Athens and is popular for weekend breaks.
This municipality on the Gulf of Corinth combines a spa resort, a rugged peninsula and a stretch of quiet coast. Loutraki has long been known for its thermal waters and today offers a promenade, a beach, hotels and a lively evening scene, popular with visitors from Athens. The Perachora peninsula, to the west, is wilder: the Heraion of Perachora stands above a small harbour, Lake Vouliagmeni is a calm lagoon lined with tavernas, and the Melagavi lighthouse marks the far tip with wide views. Beaches are mostly pebbles, with clear water. The area is only about an hour from Athens, so it fills on summer weekends but is calmer on weekdays and in spring and autumn. A car is useful for the peninsula, where distances are short but public transport is limited. Combine a thermal bath with a cultural visit for a restful day.
