Patras is the 3rd largest city in Greece and is
useful for getting things for the boat and shopping generally To get there we
had to cross the Gulf of Patras, which seperates the North from the south of the
Ionian, using the newly constructed suspension bridge.
    No we did not attempt these steps,perhaps another
day!!!!
 Patras is very large and it is quite a surprise how
one becomes accustomed to small villages as we were all overwhelmed by the size
of Patras.We decided to look around Patras in couples and rendevous later for a
drink before driving back to Messolonghi.
The drive back to Messolonghi was uneventful and we
stopped off in a place called Nafpaxos which was the site of a famous Greek
naval battle.
 A venetian castle overlooks the walled harbour. |
