Western Greece Essentials

Western Greece centers on the archaeological legacy of Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, and the remote, UNESCO-listed Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae. The region’s history is preserved through the Byzantine-era Patras Castle, the multi-layered Venetian fortifications of Nafpaktos, and the Frankish Chlemoutsi Castle. Notable landmarks include the modern Rio-Antirrio Bridge and the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, the largest church in Greece, which houses the relics of the apostle.
