One such case is the surprise island of the Corinthian Gulf, Trizonia. You may not have heard them before, but the images speak for themselves about being there at the first opportunity. An island that does not look like the usual, being the only inhabited island in the Corinthian Gulf.
Trizonia: A walk on the island – a surprise of the Corinthian Gulf
Trizonia is a small island just five minutes away from mainland Greece that is the epitome of tranquility for a one-day excursion. The islet of the Corinthian Gulf is located less than 500 meters away from the coast of Fokida, so anyone who is in Roumeli for vacation has a great opportunity to visit it. To get there, you will simply take one of the boats, and you will be on the calm island in 5 minutes and at a cost of just 2 euros.
The island has no cars, which makes it even more charming as you enjoy its beauty without the sounds of the city. In fact, the circulation of wheeled vehicles (i.e. cars and motorbikes) is prohibited, so you have the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the island and its traditional aura at its best. On this island of 2.5 square kilometers, you can dive in clear waters without the crowds of famous beaches.
It is no coincidence that those who know the area well arrive with their boats to take a dip there.

For years, the island with its few inhabitants and beautiful houses was a well-kept secret. Even now, not many people know about it and visit it when they vacation in Fokida.
One-day trip to Trizonia
The day in Trizonia for us went very nicely as we were there early in the morning and enjoyed our swim in the clear and cool waters. There are three beaches to choose from; whichever suits you, relax by the sea or take your dips. In addition, apart from the walk to the harbor, we couldn’t help but try the traditional and delicious cooked food in the restaurants of the island. And the options for anyone who is there are many, as in Trizonia there are nine taverns that offer various flavors and varieties.
