Phokas

These are set on Mount Phokas, which separates the plains of Kleonai, Nemea and Vocha; it dominates the plains of Vocha and Nemea both.

It had visual contact with a dense network of castles and so could control a vast area that stretched across much of Corinthia, and also the Corinthian Gulf.

The mountain of Fokas got its name from the great Byzantine family of the same name. In medieval times a settlement developed on top of the mountain. 

Χρονολόγηση: rankish/Late Byzantine periods (13th-15th centuries), Ottoman/Venetian periods (15th - 19th centuries).

Οnly ruins of the wall and the settlement are preserved οf the castle . On the southern rocky side, where is the monastery of Zoodochos Pigi, there remains a hermitage.
