Antikyra

Antikyra sits on the Gulf of Antikyra, a bay of the Gulf of Corinth, in Central Greece, where a narrow coastal plain meets the foothills of Mount Parnassus. The town faces south across the gulf, while the inland landscape rises quickly toward the mountains of Phocis and Boeotia. In antiquity, Antikyra was renowned for its hellebore, a plant used in ancient medicine; its fame was such that the town’s name became linked with treatments for mental illness in classical writing. Today, it remains a small working coastal community with a harbour and access to the wider Corinthian shoreline.
