Athens metropolitan area. Many Athenians live in the community permanently or seasonally.
The area is a very important tourist destination for summer & weekend visitors from Athens metropolitan area, due to the proximity (about 80 km) and the clean and sandy beaches surrounding the town of Loutraki and the other seaside settlements.
The municipality lies on both sides of the
Corinth Canal, but primarily to its northeast; a small part lies on the southwest side of the Canal, on the
Peloponnese Peninsula.

The Corinth Canal is a partial border between the Corinthians' Common and the Loutraki-Perachoras Common. The Canal area though, is at responsibility of the latter. A private-owned company is operating the Canal ship traffic.
Loutraki's springs of mineral water are very well-known for their exceptional qualities. A significant bottling industry has been developed due to this fact.
Perachora is a smaller village (1,256 inh.) NW of Loutraki at a landlocked position surrounded by mountainous landscape. Large pine-trees forests are found there. These are the main source of the local production of natural resin. Other large towns include
