The Gulf of Corinth is the body of water separating Peloponnese from western mainland Greece. It is bounded in the east by the Isthmus of Corinth, and in the west by the strait of Rio-Antirio, crossed by the Rio-Antirio bridge.
The Gulf was created by the expansion of a tectonic rift, and still expands by about 30 mm per year. The surrounding faults have important seismic activity.
