Missolonghi–Aitoliko Lagoons, Protected wetland complex in western Greece.
The Missolonghi-Aitoliko Lagoons extend over 150 square kilometers between the Acheloos and Evinos rivers, featuring multiple interconnected water bodies and sandy islands.
The lagoon system has undergone significant changes during the 20th century when sections were drained for agricultural expansion and dike construction.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in the lagoons, producing avgotaracho from flathead grey mullet, a regionally protected product.
Visitors can access the lagoons through designated paths and observation points in both the Ionian Islands Region and West Greece Region throughout the year.
The Aitoliko lagoon reaches depths of 28 meters, making it more similar to a deep lake than a typical coastal lagoon system.
