Municipal Unit of Sikyona

Few places in the Peloponnese have a history as closely tied to the ancient city-state of Sikyon as the Municipal Unit of Sikyona. Set beside the Corinthian Gulf, this area combines a working coastal plain with the remains of one of antiquity’s influential Greek centres. Ancient Sikyon, located inland from today’s shore, was renowned in the classical world for its artistic traditions, particularly painting and sculpture. Its archaeological site preserves the form of a substantial urban settlement, including a theatre and stadium. Kiato, the modern administrative centre, gives the district its present-day connection to the gulf coast.
