• Rion-Antirion Bridge - Experience the drive over the Rion-Antirion (Charilaos Trikoupis) Bridge, the world’s longest multi-span cable-stayed bridge, featuring a 2,252-meter continuous and fully suspended deck. Its foundations rest on a seabed 65 meters deep, setting a world record, with a diameter of 90 meters, making them the largest bridge foundations globally. This journey leads to Mesolonghi, the capital of the Aitoloarkania prefecture. The drive takes approximately 45 minutes.
• Missolonghi - Mesolongi is a charming small town renowned for its sea lake, created by the confluence of two rivers, and is considered one of Greece’s most pristine areas. The visit includes the town of Messolonghi and its historic castle, the site of the heroic Exodus of Messolonghi against the Ottomans, a pivotal event in the struggle for independence. The Garden of Heroes, located in the town center, is a pleasant place to stroll, featuring tombs and statues of many heroes from the Exodus, dedicated to the Greek Revolution’s heroes. The tour continues to the Messolonghi lagoon, a national park protected by the Ramsar Convention and the Natura2000 Treaty. This area is of exceptional beauty and ecological importance, home to rare flora and 280 bird species. The view of the lagoon around Klisova Island, with its chapel, is captivating.
• Tourlida - The islet of Tourlida, located 5 km from the main town within the lagoon, offers a natural setting of unique beauty and environmental significance. Named after “tourlides,” a bird species that once nested there, visitors can admire the picturesque “pelades” – small wooden houses on stilts in the water.
• Salt Museum - The breathtaking Lagoon of Messolonghi provides another treasure: salt. On the way to Tourlida, visitors will encounter Alykes, one of Messolonghi’s two salt lakes. These large square fields of seawater yield salt as the water evaporates, forming large white salt hills. Messolonghi produces over 90% of Greece’s primary salt. A visit to the salt museum is sure to impress!
• Nafpaktos Old Port - Concluding the trip to western Greece, the journey continues to Nafpaktos, a city with a 30-century history, reflected in its monuments. Nestled at the foot of the Pindos Mountain range, it is embraced by its majestic castle, with walls extending to the Corinthian Gulf. This picturesque city features charming neighborhoods. The visit includes the Venetian harbor, a local gathering spot, perfect for a walk under the shade of plane trees, with views of the sea and castle walls.
• The Venetian Castle of Nafpaktos - Starting at the harbor, a walk along steep cobbled streets through blooming neighborhoods leads to the impressive fortress. Along the way, visitors will encounter Botsaris’ Tower, a remarkable 15th-century building now a museum, and the town clock from 1914. The castle, celebrated for its beauty, is one of Greece’s best-preserved Venetian fortifications. The view from the hilltop to the sea and the stunning Rio-Antirio Bridge is unparalleled. Finally, enjoy ouzo with meze or a refreshment at an equestrian club by the sea before returning to the hotel.
