Overview
Eating out in Patras
Patras is the gateway to the Peloponnese from Italy, and its port sees ferries from Bari, Brindisi, Ancona and Venice. Cafes on Agiou Nikolaou, seafood by the water and the Achaia Clauss winery's Mavrodaphne define the city.
The carnival, held in the weeks before Lent, is the largest in Greece and fills restaurants for days. Students from the University of Patras keep the cafes busy the rest of the year.
