Nafpaktos is ideal for sea tourism, since the visitor, apart from the shaded beaches of the city (Psani: Western beach, Gribovo: Eastern beach) can visit many beautiful coasts with crystal clear water at a proximal distance. Riza and Makineia in the West, sandy and shallow and the beaches of the picturesque coastal villages of Phocis (Chiliadou – sandy, Monastiraki, Skaloma, Marathias, Sergoula – pebbly) will satisfy the tastes of the most demanding visitor.
During the summer, there are also organized mini cruises from Nafpakos to the stunning island of Trizonia with the amazing natural port, as well as excursions to the sightseeing of Missolonghi.
For those that demand alternative activities for their holidays, they can try rafting, canoeing, kayak in the river Evinos, as well as kite surf, paintball or horse riding.
For the nature lovers, Mountainous Nafpaktia with the dense forests, the ravines and picturesque villages is the ultimate destination. Cross the verdant hills by car, by motorbike or even by foot at the specific routes-paths.
The wider area is known for its numerous monasteries, important monuments of our religious heritage and pole of attraction for Orthodox Christians from the entire world (Monastery of Panagia Varnakova, Monastery of Metamorphosis Sotiros, Monastery of Panagia Ambelakiotissa, Monastery of Agios Ioannis Prodromos, Monastery of Agios Avgoustinos and Seraphim Saroph).
And if you simply want to relax, enjoy your coffee under the shade of plane trees or your food at the exotic restaurants of the city.
For the fans of night-life, the port is adorned and welcomes all its guests that swarm about the streets of the port, ready to have fun.
