A view of the port

The Port of Kechries was a seaport town located at the western end of the Saronic Gulf in Korinthia. It served as a port for the city-state of Korinth.

It's location at the crossroads of eastern land and sea-trades routes made it an ideal port for trade. The bronze statues of Aphrodite and Poseidon which bordered the sea were venerated in Kechries. Aphrodite also had a sanctuary within the port, where she was worshipped as the goddess of navigation and the sea, instead of the goddess of love.[1]

The Port of Kechries was connected to the Port of Lechaion by the Diolkos.[1]

During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra visited the port.[1]

Trivia

  • The town was named after Cechrias, a son of the god Poseidon.
