Patras tourist guide - hotels and services
Patras serves as a pivotal gateway to Greece from Europe's west and its situation close to the Ionian Islands also contributes to the facility's usefulness. Patras is not really known as a significant tourist destination. Patras boasts several sights of historical interest and some quality museums. The place also has a gorgeous coastline.
A main event in Patras is the Carnival, a 40-day long fiesta which begins in February and ends during the last weekend with a bang, where 50,000 party people participate in a colourful street procession.
Strolling around the lively waterfront and observing the ships come in is another great way to kill some time. Many areas of Patras were revitalised since the town was selected as European Capital of Culture 2006.
