Difference between 'port' and 'interface' ?

When we say a port on some device, be it switch or router, it means the physical place where we plug in a cable.
And when we use the term 'interface' related to some device, does it mean the logical part or the software representation where we configure it ?

I see the terms are used interchangeably, did I get it right? Also can someone explain it more?
