Achaea is bordered by [[Elis (regional unit)|Elis]] to the west and southwest, [[Arcadia (regional unit)|Arcadia]] to the south, and [[Corinthia]] to the east and southeast. The [[Gulf of Corinth]] lies to its northeast, and the [[Gulf of Patras]] to its northwest. The mountain [[Panachaiko]] (1926&nbsp;m), though not the highest of Achaea, dominates the coastal area near [[Patras]]. Higher mountains are found in the south, such as [[Aroania (mountain)|Aroania]] (2341&nbsp;m) and [[Mount Erymanthos|Erymanthos]] (2224&nbsp;m). Other mountain ranges in Achaea are [[Skollis]], [[Omplos]], Kombovouni and [[Movri]]. Its main rivers ordered from west to east are the [[Larissos]], [[Tytheus]], [[Peiros]], [[Charadros]], [[Selinountas (river)|Selinountas]] and [[Vouraikos]]. Most of the forests are in the mountain ranges, though several are in the plains including the extreme west. There are grasslands around the mid-elevation areas and barren lands in the highest areas.
