The bay of Skoponeri, as it is called today, constitutes the access point of the Municipality of Orchomenos to the sea, to the northern Evoikos Gulf. In the south of the bay lies Paralimni - the southernmost lake of Greece - and Mount Ptoon. Its eastern part belongs to the Municipality of Halkidia and west to the local community of Kokkinou in the Municipality of Orchomenos.
