Take a view from the castle of Nafpaktos (Greece). Nafpaktos is at the north of Patras to which is connected with the famous "Rio - Antirio Bridge" that was constructed at 2004 for the Greek Olympic Games. If you want to see the bridge, I have uploaded a video of the bridge "under construction". At Nafpaktos sea took place the biggest naval battle between ships that carry sails (hundreds of ships). The Russian, English & French navy struck the Turkish and this win changed the flow of European History, because the Turks (Othoman Empire) wanted to invade Europe! It is known that they arrived close to Vienna! Famous Spanish writer Cervantes fought at the naval battle and lost his hand! A statue of him is found at the port of Nafpaktos reminding his presence.
