Nafpaktos

This is a little port of Venetian times, across the Gulf of Corinth from Patras. We took a local bus over the beautiful bridge that now spans the Gulf from Rio to Antirio, and had a wander and lunch there on a perfect day. The opening of the harbour is only 35 metres across, so only very little boats can use the harbour. The port used to be the base for little boats that would ship people and goods across the Gulf from the mainland to Peloponnesus, until the ferries started in the late 1940s and still operate, even with the bridge open.
