Drepano Beach is a long, pebbly shore on the Gulf of Corinth, known for its clear waters and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. Its consistent winds make it a popular spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, with several nearby schools offering lessons and equipment. You can rent a sunbed at one of the organised beach bars or find a quieter stretch for yourself. To make a day of it, explore the sandbar to the west with the Drepano Lighthouse at its base, visit the adjacent Calma Waterpark, or simply enjoy the food and drink at the waterfront venues.

The Oliver Mansion is a beautifully preserved 38-room estate once home to J.D. Oliver, a key figure in South Bend’s industrial history. It’s part of The History Museum, which explores the stories of the St. Joseph Valley. Step inside this 1897 home, and you’ll find the original furnishings still in place, giving you a real sense of what life was like for one of the city’s most prominent families.

The Roman Odeon is a beautifully preserved 2nd-century amphitheatre in the centre of Patras. Older than its famous counterpart in Athens, it is a compact and elegant structure with all the classic elements: a marble-paved orchestra, a towering stage wall, and tiered seating. Accidentally rediscovered in the late 19th century, it was meticulously restored after WWII and now serves as a primary venue for summer concerts and festivals. You can explore the site freely and view archaeological exhibits scattered around its exterior.

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MaMa) opened its doors in 2007 and aims to preserve the region's cultural heritage, art and history. It supports locals artists by giving them a platform and invites visitors to take a closer look on contemporary works of art. Not only the exhibitions, but also the building, transformed from a department store to the museum it is today, make this place worth a visit.
