Dicas para economizar
The harbor and castle grounds are free to explore. Parking near the port costs around 3-5 EUR per hour, so park a few streets uphill to save money.

Sobre
Fatos rápidos: The fortified harbor of Nafpaktos has withstood countless sieges and changed hands between Venetians, Ottomans, and Greeks. Its crescent-shaped bay offers swimming right beneath towering medieval walls that drop straight into the sea.
Destaques: A 500-meter swimming race called the "Crossing of the Straits of Nafpaktos" takes place every August, with participants leaping from the Venetian castle walls into the turquoise water. You can stand on the same battlements where the famous 1571 Battle of Lepanto shifted the balance of Mediterranean power, then dive off for a swim seconds later.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Walk to the top of the castle for a panoramic view of the harbor and the Gulf of Corinth.
- Bring swim shoes if you plan to enter the water from the pebbly beach beneath the walls.
- The Ouzeri tavernas on the east side of the harbor serve the best grilled octopus with a view of the fortress.
- Skip the main road parking and follow the signs to the upper lot for free street parking.
