Neighborhoods rich in history, a charming residential environment, delightful strolls, picturesque little harbors, interesting excursions, diverse mountain and sea activities, and fascinating sights await you.

Built on the site of the ancient city of Ianthi or Chalaion in the 8th century BC, the history of this beautiful town is ancient and eventful, full of legends and turbulent events.

History

Modern Galaxidi flourished during the era of sailing ships. Before the Revolution, it had become an important maritime power, but it reached its peak after liberation, when Galaxidi’s ships traded throughout the Mediterranean and its shipyards constantly built new vessels. Today, Galaxidi proudly preserves the elegance of its past and invites visitors to explore every facet of its charm. Wander through the cobbled streets that climb from the coast to the five squares, and explore the beautiful neighborhoods with captain’s houses and well-preserved mansions. Enjoy the view of the sea and the snow-capped peaks of Mount Parnassus, swim in the crystal-clear waters, and visit the town’s museums, churches, and landmarks.
