Selianitika is a coastal village in the Gulf of Corinth, located in a plain area of grassland and bushes and surrounded by mountains like Panachaiko and Klokos. Farmlands cover an important percentage of this area, breeding cattle and producing citrus-fruits (e.g orange and lemon), olives, olive oil, grapes and wine. The main village is built on a elevated land area about 30m of the sea level. It has a large beach of fine gravel (typical beach of Gulf of Corinth) which is shared with the adjacent village, Longos and it is famous for its clean and blue water. Its panorama includes the mountains to the south Klokos, the Panachaiko to the southwest and the mountains of Phokida to the north, past the Gulf of Corinth.
