The Venetian Castle of Nafpaktos

Free castle with nice view and a lot of history.

Reviewed By amX1021ZF - Reading, United Kingdom

You can reach the castle from the town by different routes but all are quite intriguing and steep! The castle is kept in reasonable condition but once at the ramparts, keep hold of children as there is nothing in place to stop them from falling over the walls! There is a guide if you need help and also a small chapel at the top. The castle has been rebuilt many times and extended by the Venetians when occupied by them. It has various levels of defences up the hill. It would be nice to have a cafe for refreshments as it is thirsty work climbing up to and in the castle grounds so don't forget to bring water bottles with you. It takes around 30 minutes by foot to travel from the town harbour to the castle entrance or 5 to 10 minutes by car. Views from the ramparts are spectacular.

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.
