Gulf of Lepanto
The Gulf of Corinth or the Corinthian Gulf is an inlet of the Ionian Sea, separating the Peloponnese from western mainland Greece. It is bounded in the east by the Isthmus of Corinth which includes the shipping-designed Corinth Canal and in the west by the Rion Strait which widens into the shorter Gulf of Patras and whose narrowest point has been crossed since 2004 by the Rio–Antirrio bridge.| Tap on a place to explore it |
