Galaxidi
This modest seaside town on the Gulf of Itea in Phocis, Galaxidi draws weekend visitors from Athens — roughly a two-and-a-half to three hour drive — and serves as a stopping point between Patras and Delphi, which lies a short drive to the northeast. The town sits on a natural double harbour, with a central core of cafés and restaurants, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites. Fishing and agriculture remain part of the local economy alongside tourism.
