Also known as the picturesque Horseshoe Harbor, it is a historic landmark of the town on the Gulf of Corinth. Originally called Lepanto by the Venetians, the harbor serves not only as a tourist attraction with cafés and restaurants, but is also the site of the famous naval Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Its horseshoe shape and the imposing Venetian castle overlooking the harbor make it an important historical and scenic feature of Nafpaktos.
