Galaxidi
Naval tradition, seamanship & natural beauty
A prominent shipbuilding centre during the 19th century, Galaxidi is a charming and tranquil nautical town surrounded by nature.

Narrow cobblestone streets, gardens with colourful shrubs and bright bougainvilleas, old captain mansions with impressive facades, traditional fishing boats and sailing boats make up for a vivid scenery, a witness to past glories of seamen and a sign of a town that takes pride in its own heritage. The old harbour of Galaxidi, Hirolakas, is the shipbuilding centre of the past, while the main harbour along the promenade hosts a number of small cafes, bars and fish restaurants. On the opposite side of the harbour, a beautiful forest lies along a stretch of pebbled cove beaches Galaxidi is an all year-round destination and an ideal getaway for visitors from around the world.
