Derveni, Corinthia
Derveni ( el, Δερβένι) is a coastal town in Corinthia in the Peloponnese peninsula, Greece. It was the seat of the former municipality Evrostina. Its population stands at 1,080 (2011 census) but rises dramatically during the holiday season and many of the houses and flats are second residencies to people living mostly in Athens (142 km) or Patras (73 km). Its nearest main town is Corinth (50 km). One of its main characteristics is that its coastal houses and flats are flanked by the old national road to the south and give directly onto the pebbled sea shore to the north. Due to its restricted parking facilities and the infrequent train service, it is not a stop-over town for passing traffic, or amenable to day trips. Its name derives from its geographical location, squeezed between the mountains and the deep Corinthian Sea. ''Derven'' means narrow passage or path in Ottoman Turkish. It was founded early 19th century by inhabitants of the nearby village of Za ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
