Corinthia is a region in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece, named after the ancient city of Corinth. The region has historical significance, with Corinth being a powerful ancient Greek city-state and a major center of trade and culture. The modern capital of Corinthia is Corinth, situated on the narrow stretch of land that connects the Peloponnese with mainland Greece.
