The Property — Pegasus
The Pegasus is a no-fuss three-star right on Korinthos’s waterfront, with clean rooms and a terrace that looks straight across the gulf to the lights of Loutraki. It’s the kind of place you use as a base — short walk to the main square, decent breakfast, and the staff can point you to the decent tavernas away from the tour-trap drag. Best for independent travellers or couples who want a practical, sea-view perch without paying for frills. Standing in the lobby, you smell coffee from the bar, hear the faint buzz of the promenade, and know you’re two minutes from the water.
Chronicles of Korinthos
Korinthos was rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1928, which flattened nearly every pre-modern building, so its centre is a grid of low-rise 1930s concrete structures, palm trees and broad squares. Ancient Corinth lies 7 km south-west — a separate archaeological site with the Temple of Apollo and the Acrocorinth fortress. The city has always been a transport hub: the Corinth Canal, completed in 1893, severs the Peloponnese from mainland Greece and still carries 10,000 ships a year. Today it feels more like a working port town than a resort, with ferry traffic, a scrappy market and a quiet local pride in its Byzantine and Venetian layers beneath the modern rebuild.
Best Time to Visit
Full Korinthos guide →Best months
May, June and September — temperatures in the mid-20s to low-30s, the meltemi wind keeps the air moving, and the canal and archaeological sites are busy but not jammed.
Peak / festival surge
July and August. Korinthos swells with Greek holiday-makers and cruise passengers stopping at the canal. Hotel rates at the Pegasus typically rise 30–50% over June. The main event is the August full-moon concert at the ancient theatre of Ancient Corinth, which draws a solid crowd.
Budget shoulder season
October and April are the sweet spot: rooms drop back to spring rates, the sea is still warm enough for a dip (October), and Ancient Corinth is almost empty. You’ll trade the intense sun for occasional rain squalls.
Weather & packing
July in Korinthos is reliably hot (35°C afternoons common) with a stiff afternoon breeze off the gulf. Pack a light windbreaker or pashmina for evening ferry-watching on the promenade — the wind drops and the concrete holds heat, but you’ll want a layer once the sun goes down.
Live City Briefing — Korinthos
- The Corinth Canal is currently operating with extended closures for bridge maintenance in June–July 2026, so check if you plan to book a boat tour — the walkways along the edges are open, but vessel passage may be restricted on your dates.
- The new pedestrian zone along the waterfront from the Pegasus to the marina was finished in spring 2026, making the promenade much more pleasant for evening walks, though some restaurants nearby are still adjusting their outdoor seating permits.
- Local bus service from Korinthos to Ancient Corinth runs hourly until 20:00 but can be crowded on summer weekends; the 15-minute taxi ride runs about €10–12 and is easier on a short stay.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Pegasus, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the courtyard (if available). These floors are high enough to avoid street-level noise and above the lift machinery, giving a quieter stay. The courtyard side typically has less traffic noise than the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (street-level noise and proximity to the lobby/breakfast area) and any room directly above the bar or restaurant (likely on the ground or 2nd floor). Also avoid rooms facing the main road (Ethnikis Antistaseos or similar) if Pegasus fronts a busy street in central Korinthos.
Best views
Ask for a room facing the courtyard or side street (less traffic). If the hotel is near the waterfront, a front-facing room on floors 3–4 might give a partial sea view, but that comes with road noise. The best compromise is a courtyard view on a high floor.
Quietest floors
Request floors 3–4. These are high enough to escape street noise and away from service areas and the bar.
🔊 Noise notes
Korinthos is a port city with traffic on the main coastal road (Leoforos Athinon or Ethnikis Antistaseos). Pegasus likely sits on or near a main street, so expect car and scooter noise, especially on lower floors. The lift is probably audible on adjacent rooms, so avoid rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor.
Insider tips
1. Ask for a room at the back of the building, not facing the street — even a courtyard view is quieter and worth the trade-off. 2. If you have a car, request parking in advance: street parking in central Korinthos is tight, and the hotel may have a small lot. 3. The bar/restaurant can be lively at night; check if they have live music on weekends and avoid rooms directly above it.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
ATMs at the Korinthos train station and central square give decent rates; avoid the tourist bureaux at the port and airport kiosks—they skim 5-8%.
Visa and Mastercard accepted in most supermarkets, hotels, and mid-range restaurants; cash is still king at street stalls, bakeries, and smaller tavernas; contactless works fine in chain stores.
Round up the bill at tavernas (e.g., leave €1-2 on a €15 meal); taxi drivers don’t expect a tip but rounding to the nearest €0.50 is polite; hotel housekeeping gets €1-2 per night left in the room.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →An espresso or freddo cappuccino at a local kafeneio, about €2.20–2.80.
A gyros pita from a street-side grill, around €3.50–4.50.
A decent moussaka or grilled fish main at a neighbourhood taverna, roughly €9–12.
Along Ethnikis Antistaseos street and the pedestrianised pedestrian mall off Plateia Kentriki (central square) you’ll find grill shops and souvlaki joints for cheap eats.
AB Vassilopoulos and Masoutis are the main budget supermarket chains in Korinthos town.
The central market area (around Plateia Kentriki) has a handful of affordable high-street shops like H&M and local boutiques; for real bargains, the weekly farmers’ market (laiki) on Saturday mornings also sells cheap T-shirts and scarves.
A single bus ticket within town costs €1.20 from the machine; the cheapest way from Athens Airport is the KTEL bus to Korinthos (€9.50, runs hourly) then walk or take a short taxi (€5-7) into town.
1. Buy groceries at the farmers’ market (laiki) on Saturday mornings for cheap, fresh produce and olives. 2. Order the daily special (imertiko) at tavernas—often €3-4 cheaper than menu items. 3. Walk everywhere in town; the flat centre is compact and taxis are unnecessary for locals.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Corfu International Airport (CFU) → San Rocco Square, Corfu Town
💡 Tickets from the kiosk just outside arrivals—cash only. Get off at San Rocco, then it's a 10-minute walk down the pedestrian street to the hotel.
Hotel Apollon, Corfu Town → Corfu New Port (for ferries to Patras/Kyllini)
💡 Call +30 26610 30300 for Radio Taxi Corfu—they're reliable. The hotel is just off the old port, but ferries to the mainland leave from the new port 2km north.
Corfu International Airport (CFU) → Hotel Apollon, Corfu Town
💡 Fix the fare before getting in; expect €20–30 to Corfu Town. The hotel is on the old port, so ask to be dropped at the Liston square—drivers might not know the Apollon by name.
Corfu New Port (KTEL Terminal) → Korinthos (via Patras/Athens connection)
💡 This is not direct—you change at Athens' Kifissos station. For Korinthos, you're better off taking the ferry to Patras then a bus. Book at the KTEL counter near the new port, not online.

Top Attractions in Korinthos
💡 Best on Saturday mornings when farmers from the surrounding villages bring in seasonal fruit and vegetables. The grilled octopus from the fish stalls makes a cheap lunch.
💡 Walk to the smaller pedestrian bridge just south of the main road bridge. It's quieter and gives a better angle for photos of the canal slicing through the rock.
💡 Wear sturdy shoes and take water. The trail starts behind the old railway station near the canal. Best done in late afternoon for the sunset colours over the water.
💡 Go early in the morning before the tour buses arrive around 10am. The light is better for photos and you'll have the place nearly to yourself.
💡 The mosaic floor in the main hall is the highlight. Come here first to understand the site layout before wandering the ruins. Allow 45 minutes.
