    Galaxidi centre

    Galaxidi is a small seaside town of 3,000 people (2011) in West Central Greece. During the summer it is a popular sea resort for travellers that stop on the way between Patras and Delphi. The tourism industry combined with agriculture and fishing are the main source of income.

    Understand

    [edit]

    Like most everyplace in the area, Galaxidi has a long history, and it was a mighty marine power in ancient times. The centre of the town is well maintained and the lush buildings are witness to the long gone wealth. Today tourism is the main source of income but it remained a calm atmosphere. Only in the fishing harbour tourists are the clear majority.

    Get in

    [edit]

    There are regular buses that travel on the Athens, Delphi, Patras route but due to the frequent strikes it is better to travel with a car.

    Get around

    [edit]

    Walking is the best option as streets are narrow.

    • 1 O Bebelis (Ο Μπεμπέλης), Nikolaoi Mama 20-22. 17:00-20:30. Serves gently reimagined and lovingly executed traditional dishes. Go for the daily specials, but the house pork (baked in individual crocks) and aubergine pie are always on and are outstanding. Atmospheric to boot. Mains €12-18.
