Corinth & Loutraki - Greece - 8th September 2006

Today we give Loutraki a try. The Lonely Planet book advises not to bother suggesting that Loutraki is tacky but we decide to give it a go.



Loutraki is a seaside town located 4 km North East of Corinth. It is largely a tourist town, and is well-kown in Greece for its vast natural springs. The name itself, Loutraki derives from the Greek word for Spring. Within Greece, Loutraki is also famous for its spring water, which is bottled and sold widely.

It turns out to be a nice little place, Richard manages to fit in a swim and we have lunch at Goodys. I wish there was a Goodys in Australia. It is fast food chain in Greece and the food is good



Loutraki is Greece's major producer of bottled mineral water and also home to Greece's biggest casino. We didn't go to the Casino as it was a few kilometres out of town.
