Galaxidi is picturesque town in Fokida Greece mainland , built on a double harbor in Corinthian gulf.

Is a charming coastal town that has an island-like atmosphere .

In fact until 1963 it was only accessible by boat so it truly was like an island.

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.

The town’s neoclassical houses with figureheads and pebble-covered courtyards have been preserved, as have the kapetanospita, meaning “captain’s houses”. Some are inhabited, while others have been transformed into holiday homes and guesthouses.

1. The little town’s has very traditional waterfront restaurants and cafes overlooking a lush pine forest.

Ideal for a short getaway, as well as for quiet family vacations, Galaxidi may also serve as a launching pad for visits to Delphi, a 20-minute drive away, Amfissa, and the northern coastline of Corinthian Gulf
