The Battle of Lepanto was a naval engagement that took place on 7 October 1571 when a fleet of the Holy League, led by the Venetian Republic and the Spanish Empire, inflicted a major defeat on the fleet of the Ottoman Empire in the Gulf of Patras. The Ottoman forces were sailing westward from their naval station in Lepanto when they met the fleet of the Holy League which was sailing east from Messina, Sicily. The Holy League was a coalition of European Catholic maritime states which was arranged by Pope Pius V and led by John of Austria. The league was largely financed by Philip II of Spain, and the Venetian Republic was the main contributor of ships.In the history of naval warfare, Lepanto marks the last major engagement in the Western world to be fought almost entirely between rowing ves...

Greece Video Map:

Nafpaktos is a beautiful coastal town on the Corinthian Gulf, in Sterea or Central Greece. It is built up into a hillside, located 42 km from Messologhi, 10 km from the Rio-Antirro Bridge and 218 km from Athens. It is one of the oldest Greek cities that was associated with significant historical events. This is confirmed by the excellent fortification, which starts from the port with two watchtowers and continues with three successive walls, ending at the Venetian castle on top of the hill. It is a city with a lot of traffic during the entire year, which increases during the summer months. Visitors will find taverns, restaurants, cafes at the city center, at the beaches or at the castle hill overlooking the sea.

The picturesque town of Nafpaktos in West Greece

The picturesque town of Nafpaktos in West Greece

Nafpaktos Feb 2013

Trip to Nafpaktos Feb 2013

Naupactus or Nafpaktos (Greek: Ναύπακτος, formerly Έπαχτος; Latin: Naupactus; Italian: Lepanto), is a town and a former municipality in Aetolia-Acarnania, West Greece, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform, it has been part of the municipality Nafpaktia, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit. It is the third largest town of Aetolia-Acarnania, after Agrinio and Messolonghi.
Nafpaktos is situated on a bay on the north coast of the Gulf of Corinth, 3 km west of the mouth of the river Mornos. The harbour is accessible only to the smallest craft. It is 9 km northeast of Antirrio, 18 km northeast of Patras, 35 km east of Missolonghi and 45 km southeast of Agrinio. The Greek National Road (Antirrio - Nafpaktos - Delphi - Livadeia) passes north of the town.

The name 'Naupactus' means 'boatyard', from ναύς (ancient Greek naus meaning ship) and πηγνύειν (Ancient Greek pêgnuein meaning 'to build'). In the Byzantine period, the name used was the slightly altered Epahtos (Έπαχτος), while the Venetian term was Lepanto and the Ottoman Turkish İnebahtı. The ancient name was revived in the 19th century.

Today the population is about 19,768 people according to the 2011 census. Residential homes align with the Gulf of Corinth over a length of about 3 km and a width of about 1 km. The port divides the beachfront in two parts. The Western part is called Psani, while the Eastern part Gribovo. Naupactus sits on a shoulder of a mountain range on the north while farmlands dominate the western part. It used to be on the GR-48/E65 linking Antirrio and Amfissa; now it is bypassed to the north at the elevation of 150 to 200 m above sea level. The bypass has contributed significantly in lowering the number of heavy trucks passing through the narrow streets of the town.

Travel to Nafpaktos by car
Driving from Athens you take the national road that goes south through Corinth and towards Patras. You will follow the signs to Rio and there either you cross the Rio-Antirrio bridge (which has a fee of 13 Euros) or you take the ferry to Antirrio (the ticket costs about 6 euros for the car and passengers are free). From Antirrio Nafpaktos is at a distance of 10 km.
