Hermes by Praxiteles

Reviewed By GwensGramma - Durham, United States

It is incredible that this beautifully carved statue has survived the centuries and we can gaze on it today. It was carved during the Classical period of Greek sculpture in the 4th century B.C. Hermes is holding the baby Dionysus and it is a work of true beauty.

Roupel Bunker

Reviewed By exYorkie148 - Carnforth, United Kingdom

It is a long drive through a military area after you leave the motorway. The soldier guide gave us an excellent and informative tour in very good English. The extensive bunker complex was amazing and it was very interesting to see how it had been organised and used and quite astounding that it had all been dug by hand. We were also given a good account of the history of the area at the time of the second world war and the battles in the area. After the bunker we visited the small museum at the side of the road on the way out. This had an interesting array of artefacts and photographs.

Nafpaktos Old Port

Reviewed By DirkW107 - Alexandra Headland, Australia

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.

Symbol of Rethymnon City

Reviewed By jetalcott - Gold Coast, Australia

This formidable fortification is spectacular. First of all, it was (and is) in a great location, overlooking the sea. Walking through this area was like stepping back in time.

Pythagoras Statue

Reviewed By turquoise23 - Whiteley, United Kingdom

I studied Geometry at school. I was always interested in the Pythagoras theorem, probably one of few things that really caught my attention, and stayed with me. And I finally got to meet the man. This charming port is filled with character, very clean, not too commercialised, with lots of lovely shops and restaurants. Well worth a visit.
