The Greek municipality of Ermionida ( pronunciation : [ ɛrmjɔˈniða ], Greek Ερμιονίδα ( f. Sg. ), Katharevousa Ερμιονίς Ermionis ) was formed on January 1, 2011 from the merger of the previously existing municipalities Ermioni and Kranidi . Its area corresponds to the province of Ermioni-Kranidi, which existed until 1997 , the eight municipalities of which were merged into two municipalities with the implementation of the Kapodistrias program in 1999. The name is derived from ancient Greek Ἑρμιονίς Hermionis , which means the area around the ancient city of Hermionē.

Kranidi

geography

Ermionida covers the southern part of the Argolic Peninsula. To the northwest, Mount Didymo separates its territory from that of the municipality of Nafplio; a mountain ridge rising to just over 600 meters extends to the southeastern tip of the peninsula and separates Erminoida from the municipality of Trizinia-Methana , which belongs to the Attica region. Two small sections of the municipality border connect Ermionida east with the municipality of Poros . The south of the municipal area is occupied by the Kranidi peninsula, whose strongly indented coast is one of the tourist destinations of the Peloponnese of Greece. The larger islands of Spetses , Dokos and Hydra , located south of the municipality , also belong to Attica.
