Messologi, Etoloakarnania, Greece

[Maria Athanassopoulou]

The capital of the Etoloakarnania prefecture is a picturesque city but, at the same time, a place

with a heavy historical backround. Dramatical events took place at Messologi during the Greek

Revolution of 1821. the culmination of them was the historical exodns of Messologi.

Today, the city is expanded near it’s lagoon, which was praised by Kostis Palamas, the great

greek poet. Visitor can admire some excellent neoclassical buildings in the city, the harbour, the

garden of the Heros and the Lagoon itself.
