Town of Nafpaktos
Nafpaktos, a charming coastal town in Greece
Visitors can wander through the town’s narrow, cobblestone streets, lined with colorful buildings and traditional tavernas. All the streets lead to the port, the smallest and, maybe, most beautiful in the Mediterranean Sea!
At the eastern tower there is the old lighthouse and the Fethiye Tzami (mosque) of 1499. The built-in marble plaque reminds us of the famous sea battle of 1571.
At the western part and next to the cannons targeting the sea, there are the statues of the legendary captain Giorgos Anemogiannis and of the famous Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes.
Nafpaktos’ well-preserved Venetian castle, overlooking the town and the sea, is a must-see historical site, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the town’s medieval past.
For beach lovers, Nafpaktos features beautiful beaches like Psani and Gribovo, perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The crystal-clear waters and the inviting Mediterranean climate make it an ideal spot for relaxation and water activities.
Nafpaktos also hosts various cultural events and festivals, providing insight into Greek traditions and adding vibrancy to the town’s atmosphere. The local cuisine is a treat for food enthusiasts, with fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes available in the waterfront restaurants.
Whether you’re interested in history, nature, or simply unwinding by the sea, Nafpaktos has something to offer every traveler seeking an authentic Greek experience.
