Your odyssey in the Gulf of Patras and Corinth
Cruise passengers will take great pleasure in traveling along the Gulf of Patras and Corinth, where charming little villages follow one after the other. Leaving the town of Patras, the first place to visit is the small town of Missolonghi. Standing on the northern shore of the Gulf of Patras, this charming coastal town is immersed in a medieval setting with its Venetian ramparts. Your sailboat charter in Greece continues with a passage under the famous Patras deck, considered the second most important suspension deck in the world. Little known to travelers, the small port of Nafpaxos will be your next stop. Surrounded by ramparts, the village invites you to stroll through its peaceful little streets leading to a magnificent castle overlooking the hills and offering a pleasant view of the sea.
In the 125-kilometer-long Gulf of Corinth lies the island of Trizonia, a little corner of paradise for those seeking peace and quiet. The only inhabited island in the Gulf of Corinth, Trizonia offers excellent anchorages and invites you to daydream. It will be perfect for hikers, who will take advantage of their stopover to stroll among the vineyards and olive groves. For history buffs, a stop on the island of Itea is a must! The port of Itea is just a few minutes from the site of Delphi. This ancient site, protected by UNESCO, is one of the most important in Greece and offers a panoramic view of the Pleistos valley and the Parnassus mountain range.
If you head into the Gulf of Corinth, you can drop anchor in the small port of Galaxidi. Occupying the south of Phocis, this small ancient village charms visitors with its tranquility. As you wander through the old streets of the town, you will see some beautiful stately homes and pretty churches, such as Agios Nikolao.
