The New Archaeological Museum of Patras presents the region's rich history from prehistory to the Roman era. Its innovative design allows you to approach exhibits directly, without barriers. The permanent collection is organised into three immersive themes: Private Life, featuring remarkable Roman mosaics and reconstructed villas; Public Life, detailing administration and commerce; and the Necropolis, showcasing burial customs with reconstructed tombs. This experiential approach makes the ancient past vividly accessible, establishing the museum as a significant cultural destination.

The Rio Fortress is a 15th-century Ottoman castle built on the tip of a narrow peninsula, strategically positioned to control the entrance to the Gulf of Corinth. It sits directly next to the modern Rio–Antirrio Bridge. You can explore its triangular layout, stone walls and seawater moat, which offer panoramic views of the strait. At either side of the fortress you'll find narrow pebbly beaches, known as East Beach and West Beach of the Castle, providing a quick dip in the clear waters with a historic backdrop and an unparalleled view of the bridge.

This renovated flour mill is one of the biggest temporary art spaces in Europe with over 3,000 square metres of art, a cinema/lecture space, a library and an archive for the study of contemporary art. The centre presents a dynamic and ambitious programme of changing exhibitions, events and projects, offering something new with every visit. In addition to its four galleries, the building boasts three different food and drink spaces and a shop, making it a place to eat, drink and relax, as well as somewhere to discover new art.

An ideal activity for a rainy day, the Life Science Centre proves that learning can be fun for the whole family. Next to exhibitions and shows there is a number of 4D simulations, as well as one of the world's largest planetariums (also located on-site).
