The Krathis (Greek: Κράθις, Latin: Crathis[1]) is a river in the eastern part of Achaea, southern Greece. The river flows through the municipal unit of Akrata. It is 32.6 km (20.3 mi) long.[2]

Geography[edit]

The river's course is from the south to the north. It begins in the northern part of the Chelmos mountains and flows through a deep valley. It passes the village Tsivlos and the town Akrata. The river empties into the Gulf of Corinth near Akrata.

History[edit]

Inancient times the river's course was close to Achaean Aegae and had two tributaries according to Strabo. The river received its name because it was a mixture. Pausanias and Herodotus also mention it, stating that the river CrathisinBruttium was named after it.[3]
