Understand
Galaxidi has a long history (as pretty much everything in the area) and was a mighty marine power in ancient times. The centre of the town is well maintained and the lush buildings are witness to the long gone wealth. Today tourism is the main source of income but it remained a calm atmosphere. Only in the fishing harbour tourists are the clear majority.
Get in
There are regular buses that travel on the Athens, Delphi, Patras route but due to the frequent strikes it is better to travel with a car.
Get around
Walking is the best option as streets are narrow
See
Drink
In the fishing harbour are restaurants by the dozens. The menus are similar but daily specials change as well as prices.
