Only two and a half hours’ drive from Athens, Messolonghi is the real Greece. Unspoiled, unpretentious, friendly and welcoming, this small seaside town makes a big impression.

It is renowned for its Natura environment, its pink flamingos, picturesque fishermens’ huts, sea-salt flats, quaint neighbourhood houses and delicious food, including the world-famous delicacy botarga (avgotaracho).
