Aetolia-Acarnania Regional Unit, Administrative division in western Greece.
The regional unit spans 5,461 square kilometers of terrain, containing mountains, lakes, valleys, and the largest natural lake in Greece, Lake Trichonida.
During the Ottoman period from the 16th century until the Greek War of Independence, the region operated as Karleli province within the Rumelia Eyalet.
Local festivals throughout the year present traditional Greek customs, regional food specialties, and musical performances that represent the local heritage.
The Rio-Antirio Bridge, constructed in 2004, connects the region to Peloponnese, establishing essential transportation links for residents and visitors.
The regional capital Messolonghi features extensive wetlands where traditional fishermen maintain wooden stilt houses above the water.
