Municipal Unit of Xylokastro
Xylokastro is best known in Greece for Pefkias, a coastal pine forest beside the Gulf of Corinth. This Corinthian town occupies the northern Peloponnese shore, facing the long, enclosed waters between the peninsula and mainland Greece, while the land behind it rises towards the mountainous interior. Pefkias gives the waterfront an unusual belt of Aleppo pines, with paths linking the trees and the seafront. Xylokastro belongs to a wider agricultural area of olive groves, vineyards and currant cultivation; dried Corinthian currants remain one of the region’s most recognisable traditional products. Its position on the coastal corridor between Corinth and Patras has long connected it with other towns along the gulf.

The terrain of Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian ranges from the low coastal plains of western Peloponnese to the Pindus mountain country in the north, creating a region of strong contrasts between shore and interior. The Ionian Sea defines its western edge, alongside islands including Corfu, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Lefkada, while the Alpheios River runs through Elis towards the coast. Ancient Olympia, in Elis, was the sanctuary where the ancient Olympic Games were held, and its archaeological site remains one of Greece’s most important classical landmarks.
