Start your tour at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, the protector saint of Patra. According to tradition, Apostle Andrew, the first student of Jesus Christ, was crucified in this town, on a site near the port. Therefore, this large church has been built on the exact spot where Apostle Andrew was crucified.
The Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Patra is the third biggest orthodox church in the Balkans.
Next, visit the Mycenaean cemetery of Voudeni located near the settlement of Voudeni of the Municipality of Patras in Western Greece. The archaeological site of a total area of 180 acres is located at an altitude of 220 meters, 7 kilometers northeast of Patras, has been transformed into a recreational park. It includes 78 carved tombs and the ruins of a prehistoric settlement.
Visit the Archaeological Museum, a 28,000-square-metre (300,000 sq ft) plot of land, with 8,000 square meters of interior spaces, it is the second-largest museum of Greece. The museum has four thematic sections, three of which are permanent and one is periodic: The first section of the museum contains items such as jewelry, cosmetics, and tools from the private life of the Romans. The second section is about the public life of the people in the area, around 1,500 B.C. and the third section of Necropolis is dedicated to tombs and items discovered in Patras and the greater region of Achaia, and it presents the burial architecture and its evolution from the prehistoric till the Roman times.
Visit the Patras Castle, which was built around the mid-6th century A.D. above the ruins of the ancient acropolis of the city of Patras, on a low outlying hill of the Panachaiko Mountain. The castle covers 22,725 m² and consists of a triangular outer wall, strengthened by towers and gates and further protected originally by a moat, and an inner compound on the northeastern corner, also protected by a moat.
Finally, visit the Achaia Clauss winery. In 1859, Gustav Clauss, a representative of the Bavarian company Fels and Co., purchased an area of 240,000 m2 of land to Patras at an altitude of 500 meters. In 1861 he established the winery Achaia Clauss. In 1920 it passed into the ownership of Vlassis Antonopoulos, and from then on, the company developed rapidly. In Achaia Clauss we will taste unique wines and we will learn about the history of this place throughout the time.
