Cut off from other Greek mainland until 1950, the people of Galaxidi, located on the mainland’s southern tip, relied on the sea for transportation from as far back as the 18th century. Galaxidi was home to some of the country’s most important shipping families, a legacy which can be observed at the Nautical and Historical Museum, the first of its kind in Greece. Apart from its maritime history, Galaxidi is a destination that’s perfect for a weekend break or longer stay. Beautiful neoclassical houses, old captains’ mansions, picturesque ports and the charm of a non-commercialized town are some of the reasons why you should visit.
