Introducing Messolongi
From a distance, Messolongi’s flat landscape is hardly appealing. But the closer you get, the better it looks. Harilaou Trikoupi, which runs from the handsome central square; Athanasiou Razikotsika, which is parallel to it, and the lively pedestrian lanes between them are lined with good bars and tavernas.

The town skirts the motionless Klisova Lagoon, the largest natural wetland in Greece, and a favourite winter stopover for thousands of migrating birds as well as an important breeding ground for the endangered Dalmatian pelican – not to mention a pilgrimage site for photographers and bird-watchers.
