About Galaxidi

A charming harbour town with a proud seafaring history, Galaxidi is a wonderful destination for a laid-back holiday in central Greece, with tranquil waters to one side and the mountains rising in the distance. The pretty, whitewashed houses lining the town’s narrow streets, with their red-tiled roofs and brightly painted shutters pay testament to Galaxidi’s fascinating history — and to its focus on preservation. Our pick of the best places to stay in Galaxidi is one such house, built as a private residence by a ship-owner and now a lovely little hotel.

Stroll along picturesque streets towards the ports of Agora and Chirolakas, where sailors once sheltered from storms out at sea. Spot the ruined walls of ancient Oianthi, admire the Town Hall, and delve into local culture at the Folk Art Museum and the Maritime and Historical Museum. Hike up to the 13th-century Monastery of Christ the Saviour for dazzling views towards the Corinthian Gulf, or step into the domed Church of Agios Nicholaos on the town’s own hilltop to admire its unique artwork.

The iconic ruins at Delphi, including the ancient Temple of Apollo are within easy reach and not to be missed. Return to tranquil Galaxidi for refreshing dips in the sea, harbour-front wanders and delicious dinners in traditional, family-owned tavernas before returning to rest your head at the best place to stay in Galaxidi.
