Nafpaktos Excursions, Greece: Information about the excursions in Nafpaktos

 

 

Nafpaktos is an ideal destination when it comes to planning excursions for the holidays. Although it counts on picturesque places available for strolling around, Nafpaktos also counts on imposing sites that have an enormous value in historical terms.

THE CASTLE

The main attraction of this place is the castle, laying on a hill of 200 metres height. This imposing building had several construction periods, starting in the ancient times, and going through the Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman periods. The masonry, visible in different parts of the walls reveals such periods. The towers that strengthen the top of this construction are a characteristic feature of this type of buildings and aid on its imposingness.

On the other hand, the castle is also an ideal location to include on the excursions because of the great facilities it counts on the inside. The great restaurants and bars it offers provide not only a great service, but also great views towards the sea.

THE PORT

Other good place to be taken into account is the small port of this city, which is the heart of the town. Apart from being picturesque, it has the historical detail of being the place where the legendary Battle of Nafpaktos took place, when the Turkish were defeated on 1571.

NAFPAKTOS CHURCHES

The churches are another attraction of this town. To name some, we can mention the church of Prophet Elia, near the castle, and that of Agios Georgios. Nafpaktos also counts on a museum dedicated to the Greek Revolution, Farmaki museum. In addition, there are also some ruins belonging to Asklepios temple east of the town, where the temples of Poseidon, Aphrodite and Artemis used to lay as well. In this same area, the ruins of a Byzantine church, as well as a Turkish bath can also be visited.
