The Verdict
Worth an overnight for the harbour setting and castle walk, good value stop between the Peloponnese and central Greece.
Why go
The circular Venetian harbour, barely large enough for a few dozen boats, is one of the most intact small ports in Greece, with old cannons still lining the entrance. The castle above gives a long view over the Gulf of Corinth to the Peloponnese mountains opposite. It's a working town with real beaches nearby, not purely a stage set.
Understand the place
A walled town on the Gulf of Corinth with a small Venetian harbour ringed by cannon and a castle climbing the hill above it.
Easy to combine with
Logically reachable by transport. Confirm current ferry/flight schedules before booking.
