The canal cut clean through the isthmus, which means everything reaching Corinth by road crosses a bridge to get there. It is a short crossing and nobody notices it, but it is the reason the town sits where it does and why it has always been a junction rather than a destination.
For a move, what matters is proximity. Corinth is about eighty kilometres from Athens and from Piraeus, which makes it one of the easiest addresses in Greece to deliver to.
Goods clearing at Piraeus are with you the same day. Road loads landing at Patras are about ninety minutes west along the coast. Either way Corinth avoids the long domestic run that makes deliveries to the southern Peloponnese or northern Greece more expensive.
That proximity is worth something on a quote, and it is worth checking that it has been reflected rather than assumed away.
The modern town is easy for access. Ancient Corinth and the hill villages behind it are narrower and older, and Loutraki across the bay has its own approach. None is difficult by Greek standards, but the address rather than the postcode decides the vehicle.
Nothing about Corinth changes what customs requires, and the short inland leg means less exposure if something is delayed. What relief requires and the order things happen in.

About eighty kilometres from Piraeus on modern road, and roughly 130 from Patras. Both are short by Greek standards, which is why Corinth deliveries are among the more straightforward in the country.
It should, because the inland leg is a real cost and here it is small. Check that the quote reflects it rather than pricing Corinth as though it were deep in the Peloponnese.
Straightforward in the modern town. Ancient Corinth and the hill villages behind are older and narrower, and Loutraki has its own approach. The address rather than the postcode decides the vehicle.
In practice they clear at the arrival port and are trucked in. The distance is short enough that this rarely adds a day, unlike deliveries further south.
Send the address, your dates and a rough inventory. A vetted moving company checks the arrival port, the short inland leg and the paperwork before quoting.
