General: Walk the castle

Nafpaktos is a small but relaxing city. Close to Athens and easy to get there by car or bus, I well recommend you to go to Nafpaktos for a weekend at least. There is a big square at the center of the city with a classy greek plane tree in the middle and lots of cafes to have a sit and relax. The port is really beauti...

General: Fairly quiet and greek

Nafpaktos is great for a fairly quiet but very Greek experience. The views across to the Peloponnese are really good, and there is a really large castle. The top of the castle gives views to all over the town and Patras, the opposite big town. The beaches are fine but not particularly scenic. The food was excellent and really cheap as compared to more developed resorts. We had a number of reall...

General: Lovely square and port

We live in Athens and Nafpaktos seemed a nice weekend destination for us. In fact, it was so nice that I was surprised we hadn't thought of that lovely town earlier. The port was of course the most picturesque corner. There were cafeterias all over the square and you could drink a coffee under a huge plane tree and look at the port. What a relaxing moment!! Another good place to relax is the ca...

General: I wish I had stayed longer

I did a lot of research on the Internet on where to spend my 2-week holidays in Greece, which is a lot of work if you want to see as much of the country as possible. So, I am happy I chose Nafpaktos too, among other places. I just wish I had stayed longer than a day. It is just beautiful having mountains and the ocean in one place and the water was so clear. My dining experiences there were als...

General: You will love Nafpaktos

We stayed only for one day in Nafpatkos but if I knew that is would be such a lovely place, I would stay more! The best area was the square with the big plane tree in the centre and the cafeterias under its shade. From there. you had an exceptional view of the port on one side and the Castle on the other. There are no photos to capture the beauty of the beach and the waterfront of Nafpaktos. Th...

General: A tiny lovely town

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:54:44 GMT

Nafpaktos is a lovely, tiny town. We spend just a couple of days there last month in a traditional, stone-made hostel. There weren't many tourists because it wasn't a peak season, but we had a nice time walking along the narrow pavements and drinking coffee in the square with the huge pine tree. The first day we arrived it was raining and the hostel owner served us hot chicken soup to get warm....

General: Great location for a stop

Hi, I spent a few weeks holidays in Greece. I visited mostly the mainland (Peloponnese) and also some island near the mainland. In my way back to Patras, I had some hours to kill and decided to take the beautiful bridge of Rio-Antirio and go for a coffee to Nafpaktos. I was really positively surprised by the noce atmosphere of the village. It was a really quiet village with some architectura...
