You turn off the coastal highway and the Mediterranean light widens—the canal slices a knife through limestone, olives lean into the air, and vines climb the hills like careful rows of memory. The drive from the Athens corridor through Corinthia feels curated: one impressive engineering cut, a family olive grove, then a winery perched on a 650 m slope where the air tastes faintly of sea and sun.
