Galaxidi (or Galaxidi) is a seaside town of Central Greece in the Regional Unit of Fokida (former province of Parnassida in the Prefecture of Fokida). It is located on the north coast of the Corinthian Gulf and specifically, on the west side of the Gulf of Itea. It is 29 km. (directions - via Itea) south of Amfissa (seat of the municipality of Delphi), 31 km from the Archaeological Museum of Delphi and 66 km. east of Nafpaktos. It is quite well known for the shipping that had developed in the previous century as well as for its picturesqueness, reasons for which it attracts many visitors, mainly during the summer months. Maritime state-History The golden period of prosperity for Galaxidi was between 1829 and 1912. Of course, since the time of the Turkish occupation, the people of Galaxidi had begun to engage in shipping with great success. The starting point of the era of shipping development can be mentioned in 1774, when the Kioutsuk-Kainartzis treaty was signed. Ioannis Papadiamantopoulos played an important role. In 1803, Galaxidi had 50 ships and was among the five cities with the most ships in Greece. After the revolution and after the city recovered from the devastation, shipping began to develop again. In the three years 1838-1840, Galaxidi had an average of 21 shipbuildings per year. The city's shipyard could compete with foreign shipyards while benefiting more since the construction of a ship cost half as much as foreign shipyards. The merchant ships moved in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, the Danube, the Mediterranean, England, etc. The local community, with appropriate actions, tried to encourage young people to engage in trade and shipping, and therefore founded a Nautical School, where great personalities such as Efthimios Kavasilas taught. In the major ports of Europe, namely Livorno, Odessa, Trieste, Marseille, Nice, etc., many shipping agents from Galaxidi were established in order to coordinate their businesses. As demand increased, more shipyards were created. In 1860, it is estimated that Galaxidi ships reached 300. Until 1900, there was continuous development of shipping, but in the early 1900s, a decrease in commercial ships was observed. A typical example is that while in 1892 Galaxidi had 126 sailing ships, in 1903 they had decreased to 92. In contrast to the decline of trade, the steamships of the people of Galaxidi managed to survive until the 1930s.
