ships, which were growing larger with the passage of time, and it quickly became commercially unviable. In 1829, Nafpaktos overthrew the Ottoman rule once and for all, and became the new home of the Botsaris and Tzavelas clans &#8211; among other Souli natives &#8211; who were resettled there by the newly-minted Greek state. The families took up residence in former Ottoman mansions as a token of appreciation for their contribution to the struggle. Among them was the Botsaris Tower, which now permanently hosts an exhibition featuring reproductions of paintings, maps and plans from the historic Battle of Nafpaktos.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section galleryBlock \">\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"CarouselDiv\">\n\t<div data-view=\"1\" class=\"Carousel \n\t\tImageGrid ImageGallery--slideshow \n\t\t\toneImg\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t\tswiper-container \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t half\"  data-type=\"half\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__slide swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<article class=\"ImageGalleryItem \" style=\"\">\n\t<div class=\"ImageGalleryItemCarousel \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"ImageGalleryItem__image\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-1536x1025.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-1536x1025.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-2048x1366.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width: 1024px) 100vw, 100vw\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div style=\"--ratio:50%\" class=\" AspectRatioBox \"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-2048x1366.jpg\" alt=\"Nafpaktos Castle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hh.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/32-nafpaktos-5-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 100vw, 100vw\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__nav\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__nav-prev swiper-button-prev\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<button  class=\"Button \n\t\t\t  \t\t\t   Button--icon-only\t\t\t   Button--secondary--alt \t\t\t  \"   >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__icon  Button__icon--right \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<svg class=\"SvgIcon  \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" shape-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"  style=\"--svg-size: 24px\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<use class=\"icon-arrow-left-icon\" href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/hh\/public\/images\/icons.svg#icon-arrow-left-icon\"><\/use>\n\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider arrows\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"Carousel__nav-next swiper-button-next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<button  class=\"Button \n\t\t\t  \t\t\t   Button--icon-only\t\t\t   Button--secondary--alt \t\t\t  \"   >\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"Button__icon  Button__icon--right \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<svg class=\"SvgIcon  \" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" shape-rendering=\"geometricPrecision\"  style=\"--svg-size: 24px\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<use class=\"icon-arrow-right-icon\" href=\"\/wp-content\/themes\/hh\/public\/images\/icons.svg#icon-arrow-right-icon\"><\/use>\n\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section ContentText TitleCenter  \">\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"rich-text\">\n\t\t<p>Most of the archaeological interest is limited to the upper defensive tiers, where the foundations of religious and administrative buildings, storage facilities, cisterns, the church of Prophet Elias and more are still visible.
