GALAXIDI

GALAXIDI
Noble and picturesque Galaxidi stands proudly at the west part of Crisaean Gulf. The historic Galaxidi with 1,400 inhabitants built in a tiny fjord on the site of the ancient town of Oianthi (or Halaion according to others). It is a nautical city that carries a heritage of 4,000 years and which reached a peak during the 1821 Liberation War. Many invaders tried to conquer Galaxidi during its history, such as Franks, Catalans, Knights of Rhodes, Turkish pirates. But the city resisted and nowadays it is one of the most attracting Greek resorts. In the 19th century it knew great prosperity from shipping. It's vessels sailed across the seas prior to the appearance of the coastal navigation. It was the first nautical force. Today it is a delightful popular holiday spot both in summer and winter thanks to its well-preserved traditional architecture and its amenities for visitors.
