A small city in between mountain and sea. Long walks with plenty of space, enjoying the breeze, sunset or sunrise, a few parks for running and small streets for exploring.
Most people know Patra for its Carnival that happens every year, with plenty of festivities and the great temperament of the local population.
Another reason to know Patra is for its port connection to Italy and also the Ionian islands.
Easy to walk, and it has plenty of possibilities to enjoy food, and high view points.
Combines the neoclassical Greek, Roman and European architecture.
Don’t miss the Castle of Patra that was built in the mid 6th century.
It is also famous for its great graffiti murals and it is as well friendly with new media adaptations to everyday life and in different professions.
Mood “Synergatiko”
There are also some collectively owned small restaurants – cafes that you can sure pay a visit and enjoy their food and beverages, as well the nice surroundings.
My top first is “to megalo mas tsirko” in a beautiful surrounding with plenty of trees, they offer delicious snacks and drinks, and a few times they host live concerts and festivities.
Then is “Rokfor” and “kafemezeri aerostato”
In “Haroupi” you will find herbs and ethnic food spices and beans, also essential oils and other products for your well being.
