Gulf of Corinth
The Gulf of Corinth is a long inlet of the Ionian Sea separating the Peloponnese from central Greece, closed at its eastern end by the Isthmus of Corinth. Cities such as Corinth, Sicyon, Patrae and Aegium on its southern shore and Locris and Aetolia on the north traded across it. Its control mattered to the Achaean and Aetolian Leagues and later to medieval lordships.
