PORT OF NAFPAKTOS

GULF OF CORINTH, GREECE

Image Numbers 388, 389

Although its port is tiny, Nafpaktos in the Gulf of Corinth opposite Patras is among the most picturesque places in mainland Greece. With an intense Medieval character, Nafpaktos charms visitors with its small Venetian port, which sits within a fortified seawall.  On the hill above the town, there is a strong Venetian Castle with great view to the sea and the opposite coasts of Peloponnese. At the port there is a statue of Cervantes who lost his arm in a naval fight off Nafpkatos in the Medieval times.
