Fethiye Mosque, Ottoman mosque near port in Nafpaktos, Greece.

The Fethiye Mosque stands with its central dome structure near the eastern side of Nafpaktos port, reflecting traditional Ottoman architectural elements in its design.

Sultan Bayezid II ordered the construction of this mosque in 1499 after the Ottoman forces successfully captured the port city from Venetian control.

The name Fethiye translates to 'Conquest' in reference to the Ottoman victory, marking a significant shift in the religious and social landscape of Nafpaktos.

The building now functions as an exhibition hall, with temporary displays showcasing regional art and historical artifacts throughout the year.

The mosque maintains its original rectangular prayer hall and dome support system, though its minaret no longer stands as part of the structure.

Location: Nafpaktia Municipality

Architectural style: Ottoman architecture
