Nafpaktos is one of the country’s oldest towns, with a long history dating back more than 3,500 years. The town is centered around a small but picturesque Venetian port. The port is flanked by a long clean beach that has a laidback atmosphere that is perfect for relaxing. Looming over the town is a large Venetian castle, which offers beautiful views of the Peloponnese and the sea. The Castle of Nafpaktos is fairly well preserved, as are several other remnants of ancient times in the town. There is a variety of annual cultural events as well as a number of amenities for tourists even though Nafpaktos remains a bit off the path of the typical tourist. Map
