The small, picturesque port has the shape of a horseshoe with an opening of 35 meters. Left and right to the entrance are two towers. After the city’s liberation in 1829 the port still remained an important transportation and commercial centre that gave live to the city. Transportation to the shore of Achaia, Psathopyrgos and Patras were made by small boat. Also for many years the transportation with the prefecture capital Mesologgi, was made with small boats from Nafpaktos to Patra and from there to Kryoneri – Galata and then through local roads one could reach Mesologgi.
At the outer harbour of Nafpaktos large ships arrived with goods which were transported to the villages of Nafpaktos. These activities gave life to the port and the surrounding area, Stenopazaro. Many families lived off of the port, sailors, marine workers, cart operators and other professionals. This situation lasted until the middle of the 20th century, and more specifically 1947, when the ferry Rio – Antirrio was created. Then Nafpaktos began to lose two of her main sectors of economic life. The port commercial activity and the transit trade which are now easier facilitated by the increased use of cars.
Today the small picturesque port accepts daily dozens of small cruise and sailing ships with European travellers especially during the summer months.

At the port of Nafpaktos there are two statues. The one is is dedicated to the memory of the philhellene Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, who took part in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. In this battle he lost his left hand. After this battle he wrote "Don Quixote" masterpiece!
The other that is placed on the Castle's Tower is dedicated to George Anemogiannis was born in 1798 on the island of Paxos, which, like the rest of the Ionian Islands, escaped the Ottoman occupation. This did not prevent him, like thousands of other Ionian inhabitants, from taking part in the War of Independence against the Ottomans. The Revolution found him a sailor on the merchant ship "The Allies" from Spetses, owned by Bouboulina Laskarina, with captain Nikola Orloff.

The most improtant Ottoman mosque of Naupaktos is situated close to the eastern jetty of the Venetian port. It was built right after the conquest of the city by Sultan Beyazid II Veli and his name “Fethiye Camii” means the “mosque of the Conquest”. The entrance to the mosque is located at the centre of the north side, leading to present-day Phormionos street through a stone staircase. The initial construction of the portico was rectangular with a single, slant roof, which allowed the drum of the dome to be seen from afar. This transformation probably took place during the so-called Second Venetian Occupation, when the mosque was used as a salt-warehouse, as attested also by the traveler Ludwig Salvator in 1874. p>

Un interesting experience , Since the weather is not so hot, is to walk from the Old Port to the upper site of the Venetian Castle, via Stenopazaro, going up and down the vertical stairs which connect the 5 apartments of the city within its walls --Castle arms that embrace the old town --
During this walk you will be in touch with great moments of city's history by meeting Ottoman Bath Ruins , Orea Dapia-Bastion, The Clock of Lepanto, Sideroporta (Gate), Tower of Botsaris
