The city is the seat of a Greek orthodox archbishopric, while there is a living community of Roman catholics and a historical iglesia anglicana .
Patras está considerada como la Puerta del Oeste de Grecia, a title which is justified by its role as international commercial center and busy port, with excellent car-ferry links with the islas jonias y el mayor dem los puertos italinaos del Adriático ports of Italy, and as a functioning nodal point for the entry of goods, people, ideas and cultural influences from the European West.
