Wonderful Galaxidi has not been presented very much in these pages. It is a gem of Korinthiakos. I remember wonderful side trips there after our visits to Delphoi... These were the late 1950s. The town has changed significantly since then as has all the coast from Itea to Galaxidi to Erateini, Eupalio and Naupaktos (not that I have done it, but I see it in my books, maps and teh Web)... This was the famous County of Dorida... Doris was (still is) a mountainous area. Traveling to Dorida (or Doris as we were calling it then) meant taking the road through the hills and mountains, i.e., through Lidoriki, Doridas capital... Rocky areas did not allow much approach. In fact, Erateini (known before as Vitrinitsa) was a frequent stop of passenger ships about 60-100 years ago (see below schedule from July 20, 1929 at which time Doris was doing the Northern Korinthiakos run (ellinis; please help with info about the steamship Doris; I have nothing)

Here are then a few historic photographs of Galaxidi. All three of them are from the period 1958-63 and were published in the second volume of Leonidas Kouvaris' Nea Eikonografimeni Geografia Atlas tis Ellados (New Illustrated Geography and Atlas of Greece, Syropouloi bros and Koumandareas, publishers, Panepistimiou 44, Athens)

While talking about the "new" road from Galaxidi to Naupaktos I cannot omit to mention one of my favorite little unknown islands... the island of Trizonia, located opposite Glyfada at equal distance between Erateini and Monastiraki. It is a poem... No cars or motorcycles are allowed there. Here is a nice photo. Might I ask someone how people go there, i.e., if there any small passenger boats?
