Environment Museum of Stymphalia
About This Museum
People come here not just for ancient myths, like the one about Hercules and those troublesome birds, but to truly understand this magical, watery landscape. You'll find yourself completely captivated by how the exhibits weave together the lake's fragile ecosystem, local wildlife, and centuries of human history. One minute you're learning about rare frogs, and the next you're looking at ancient tools used by farmers who worked this very land. It’s a place that makes you feel deeply connected to the environment in a way that’s both thoughtful and surprising.
Collection Highlights
Don't miss the incredible model of the Lake Stymphalia ecosystem—it shows how everything from the water level to the wildlife is connected. The displays on the legendary Stymphalian birds are also a real highlight, blending myth with archaeological finds.
Visitor Information
It's a bit off the beaten path near Corinth, but so worth the drive for a peaceful and insightful few hours. Just check their website for seasonal opening times before you go.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is a modern, low-slung structure made of stone and glass that seems to rise right out of the earth, beautifully mirroring the surrounding mountains.
