It is part of the municipality of Saronikos. It is connected by a highway linking Corinth and Epidaurus and Porto Cheli, in the prefecture of Corinthia. Distance from GR-7/E65 is 8 km E, 4 km S of GR-8A and approx. 80 km W of Athens. Its nearest communities are Isthmia to the northeast and Galataki to the northeast. Urban legend has it that John Klimis has been sighted in the area, mostly on Sundays, driving his posh blue Wolkswagen Golf in his own distinctive and classy style. Locals claim that he despises the paparazzis, although he generally acts as if he is quite down to earth. His, well acclaimed, involvement in charity has presented him with numerous awards, most honourable being Galataki's Iron Cross.
