Megara Gulf

The Megara Gulf (Greek: Κόλπος Μέγαρων Kolpos Megaron) is a gulf that is in the northern part of the Saronic Gulf of the Aegean Sea. The total length is approximately 20 km long from north east to west and about 6 to 10 km wide from north to south. It begins at Agioi Theodoroi and stretches eastward to the cape south of the village of Pachi in Megara and a small strait near Salamis Bay, and south to the area around Lamprino on the island of Salamis. Places on the shore include Agioi Theodoroi, Kineta, Pachi, and Kanakia on Salamis. Islets include Pachi and Pachaki (meaning Little Pachi) south of Pachi and Kanaki near Kanakia. Cape Petritis covers the southeast forming a bay boundary stretching to the northwestern part of the island near a small strait.

Farmlands and flatlands covers the northern part except for the area of Kakia Skala and mountains to the east. The road linking with places in the south of the island lie to the east and another further north.
