6Nafpaktos: Coastal Elegance with a Medieval Twist
Nafpaktos, situated on the north shore of the Gulf of Corinth, is a hidden gem that seamlessly combines coastal allure with medieval charm. The town is dominated by the medieval fortress overlooking the sea, creating a dramatic skyline that transports visitors to a bygone era.
Strolling through Nafpaktos’ cobbled streets, lined with pastel-colored houses and charming boutiques, feels like stepping into a postcard. The Venetian harbor, with its waterfront cafes and tavernas, invites leisurely moments while soaking in the sea breeze. Nafpaktos is an off-the-beaten-path destination that captures the essence of Greek history and coastal elegance without the crowds.
