- DavGArmenia129 contributionsDefinitely a must visit if you are around Patra.
This is Greek Orthodox cathedral dedicated to Saint Andrew.
From inside it is decorated with magnificent paintings.Written August 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I don’t know if we were just lucky to find it under crowded, but there were literally less than 10 visitors, it felt like a private visit. It’s definitely worth to pay a visitWritten August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- mariosdariosPatras, Greece102 contributionsIt’s delightful to be able to visit the inner yard of this medieval castle and it’s going to get even better when restoration work is completed around the old fortifications.
Just a short 5 minute walk from the busy town centre, you enter the castle and a sense or serenity engulfs you.

- EmM3 contributionsIf you are anywhere near Patras then this is highly recommended. Very reasonable 3euro entrance fee for a walk around a stunning site. Beautifully kept and with the most fabulous views and the archaeological interest of ancient tombs, this was a highlight for us.Written May 31, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So we chose the Wine Connoisseurs to take us to the Achaia Clauss winery for a private wine tasting experience!
We tasted five premium wines and among them the famous variety of Mavrodaphne.
The wine tasting was private in the Villa of Gustav Claus and then we had lunch that had been organized for us!
We also visited the imperial cellar and the wine museum. Everything was as promised and the experience custom made to our taste!
Thank you Andriana for the lovely day we spent together!!Written August 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

During the Turkish occupation, most of the city inhabitants lived around and close to the Castle. When the 1828, Stamatis Voulgaris drafted a city plan by order of the governor , a remodeling of the Old and Upper city was proposed, as well as its extension to the west and as far as the beach, an area which , until then, consisted of agricultural land and marshes, with very few buildings.
The houses built in the New and Lower City are statelier and reflect the affluence of the owners, who were usually merchants, landowners and, later, men of science.
The city’s direct link to Ionian island, the development of trade, the city’s international community, the patriotic ideology and the Western Romanticism, all led to the establishment of Neoclassicism as the dominant architectural style in the city
The Apollo Municipal Theatre can be said to represent the splendor of neoclassical architecture, at least in regard to Patras.Written September 13, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

For the lunch we had Classic Club Sendwich and salad (like Caesar, but with cherry tomatos). We enjoyed our meal. Prices are little bit higher (especially for the drinks), but still is good. Water attractions are funny, almost no waiting. Just one thing was worse - drinks on the bars. Big beer costs 4,50€, but it’s only 400 ml. Mojito costs 9€, but you don’t get a mojito, it’s some alkohol with some sirup, water and ice ...Written August 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
