The ancient Chalkion, lies on the northern coast of the Gulf of Korinthia. There is an excellent beach that skirts the olive trees and a good road leads to Kira where the remains of the ancient pier can still be seen at the bottom of the sea. Good bathing spots in Fokida include Itea, Kira, Galaxidi, Eratini, and the small islands of Trizonia and Ai-Giannis.
