We visited today and greatly enjoyed visiting the memorial to a turning point battle in the war for liberation. We were very lucky to run into a very friendly and knowledgeable grounds keeper who took the time to answer our questions. If you are looking for Lord Byron, you will not find his heart (it is indeed in England) but you will indeed find internal organs buried where Byron wanted to be buried. His statue is between the memorial for the mass grave of soldiers and the powerful memorial to a man showing his grieving daughter. The park is free and is built where a fort was with very small remnants left. Definitely a place to see!

I would imagine most people see Nafpaktos as a stop on the way to better known landmarks ; disgorge the bus to visit the toilets, take some quick snap-shots and maybe a drink. Nothing wrong with that, but the little really deserves a longer visit. The old Venetian port and castle are so charming and picturesque ; they also have a lot of history behind them - remember The Battle of Lepanto . . . that was here ! Walk around the old port (don't miss Cervantes Statue !), through the arch in the fortified wall towards the Gulf of Corinth and watch the young people dive off the small pier, then have a stiff drink in one of the many cafe's around the small harbour. Now continue your trip.

The ruins of ancient Greek temple of Zeus in Stratos. If you love ancient history and it happens to be around, give it a go for sure. Free entrance for the ancient Theater right there too!
