Galaxidi, Greece’s Hidden Gem 

Galaxidi, the hidden gem in Central Greece
Galaxidi is a charming coastal town, located in West Central Greece. It is a 2.5 to 3 hours drive away from Athens, 7 km southwest of Itea and 15 km southwest of Delphi.
Galaxidi has a long history, and it was a mighty marine power in ancient times.
Galaxidi is still under the mass tourism radar, so it is the place to be if you are looking for a quiet vacation.
Modern Galaxidi is built on the site of ancient Haleion, a city of western Locris. Traces of habitation are discernible since prehistoric times with a peak in the Early Helladic Period (Anemokambi, Pelekaris, Kefalari, islet of Apsifia)
No traces remain of the town's medieval castle.
Apart from its maritime history, Galaxidi is a destination that’s perfect for a weekend break or longer stay. Beautiful neoclassical houses, old captains’ mansions, picturesque ports and the charm of a non-commercialized town are some of the reasons why you should visit.
