Naupaktos (known as Lepanto in the West) is famous for the battle that took place off its shores in 1571.
Must see: Naupaktos is a charming little town with a picturesque castle, the fortifications of which descend to and embrace the harbour. It is mainly Venetian, recalling the era when Naupaktos was known as Lepanto in the West. This market town with its circular walled harbor will delight even the most demanding visitors. The well preserved citadel, with its series of ramparts winding up to the top of the hill, is one of the most beautiful in Greece. All along the coast the sea is crystal clear. Beautifu beaches are Psani, Gribovo and Hiliadou.The coastal road from Naupaktos passes through several pretty places; outstanding among are Galaxeidi and Itea from where one may ascend to Delphi.
