We entered the Gulf of Corinth from the Poseidonias side of the Corinth Canal. The Gulf of Corinth or the Corinthian Gulf is a deep inlet of the Ionian Sea on the Western side of Greece. The Corinthian Gulf has a  rugged coastline and unusual rock formations in the sea. One of the highlights is the beautiful Rio Antirrio bridge. Connecting the Peloponnese with mainland Greece. This is the most narrow point of the Gulf. A few facts: the length of the Gulf is 130 km, the width 8.4 to 32 km and max depth is 935 m. 

On our way to Galaxidi, we were passing the lighthouse of Malagavi. Malagavi Lighthouse is situated above ancient Heraion, on the Western tip of Cape Melagavi in the Gulf of Corinth.  One of the oldest stone lighthouses in Greece, built in 1897, that is still in operation. Furtherdown the Gulf we were accompanied by a pod of dolphins dancing around our bows! Such a pleasure!
