Photo: WikipediaSituated on the Corinth Gulf with views of the Peloponnesian mountains beyond, Nafpaktos is half an hour from Patras (Greece's 3rd largest city) from where you can sail up to Corfu and Italy, an hour by boat from the islands of Kefalonia and Zakynthos, and has a multitude of outdoor activities in the surrounding countryside from rock climbing to white-water rafting to kite surfing and more. We have some wonderful friends there too and I can't think of a more perfect place to raise a family.
So, as mentioned, we have just spent Easter there, which is a big occasion in Greece. Here are just a few moments from the weekend.
The port staged a spectacular (if not slightly tacky) light and fireworks show on Good Friday night.
The view from our hotel balcony - the tiny port of Hiliadou (about 10 mins from Nafpaktos)
Lunch on Saturday next to Evinos River.
