It is really a pity that, although the town of Nafpaktos is a living testimony of history itself, it counts on just a few museums.
The personal collection Farmaki’ is dedicated to the Greek Revolution, which took place between 1821 and 1829, and liberated Greeks from the Ottoman rule. It consists of swords, traditional costumes, rare manuscripts and other items. |

The Tower of Botsaris belongs today to the Foundation of Dimitris and Egli Botsari. It is found close to the port and the central square of Nafpaktos.
It was built in the 15th century and its architecture is impressive. It was first used as a residence of the Turkish governors but in 1829, after the liberation, it was bought by Notis Botsaris, a politician whose statue lies outside the tower. |

Today the tower works as a museum and hosts items from the Greek War of Independence, the Battle of Lepando in 1571 and some rare pieces from abroad.
