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. The beach was pebbled and its water was crystal and quiet cold.
There aren't many things to see in Nafpaktos, except for the House of Botsaris, which works as a museum today and it is open until 1 p.m., and the Castle on top of a mountain,surrounded by greenery. The Castle is very big, you will need at least one hour to walk around it. Better go in the evening, because on a hot summer midday, it will be very tiring to see all of it. Under the Castle, there is a nice cafeteria, "Castello", with great view to the whole town.
If you have a car, it would also be nice to go to the Monastery of Agios Symeon, about 20 km in the inland of Nafpaktos, in Trikorfo village, where the nuns have constructed a line of catacombs in representation of the Rome Catacombs. Pretty interesting and special. Apart from this, there are at least six or seven monasteries around Nafpaktos to visit.
