Missolonghi, a captivating municipality in western Greece, beckons with its historical significance and natural beauty. Situated between the Achelous and Evinos rivers with a port on the Gulf of Patras, Missolonghi played a dramatic role during the Greek War of Independence, particularly during the Exodus of Messolonghi in 1826.

Step back in time at the Garden of Heroes, a park honoring Greeks and philhellenes who sacrificed themselves for Messolonghi and Greece. Nearly 70 busts and statues, including those of Markos Botsaris and poet Lord Byron, commemorate their bravery.

Beyond history, immerse yourself in nature at Klisovas Lagoon, the largest lagoon in Greece. This environmental park is a paradise for birdwatchers, offering a haven for diverse birdlife. Explore the historical Monastery of Agios Symeon or discover the beauty of Tourlida Islet. Explore local shops for unique souvenirs and traditional products to remember your visit.

While Missolonghi offers a serene atmosphere by the sea, for a livelier nightlife experience, you can visit nearby towns.
