The Bridge of Rio – Antirrio is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world, completed in 2004 and is a landmark of 21st century Greece, improving the movement of people and goods in Western Greece.
With the completion of the project, the vision that the then Prime Minister of Greece, Charilaos Trikoupis, had more than a hundred years ago to bridge the narrow sea passage between Rio and Antirio has now become a reality.
On the southern coast of Central Greece and after a beautiful route through the mountains of Fokida, Galaxidi emerges. A stately, picturesque, historic symbol of seamanship, it is revealed to us in the cove of a rocky creek overlooking rocky islets and lighthouses. Its two natural harbours, Agora and Chirolakas, – separated by Kavos – were for many years a base for passionate sailors, who ploughed the entire Mediterranean with their famous Galaxidi ships. The Naval – Historical Museum and the Folklore Museum are a tremendous proof of the great maritime history of the place.
Arachova is undoubtedly the lady of Parnassos. Built amphitheatrically, it stretches majestically on the southern slopes of the mountain to end up in a gorge where the river Pleistos flows. Its central square is located at an altitude of 960 metres.
Patras is the largest economic, commercial and cultural centre of the Peloponnese and western Greece and the third largest city in Greece. The main characteristics of the city are the landscape and the people.
The island of Trizonia, a small island with an area of only 2.5 square kilometres, where wheeled vehicles are forbidden and the joy of contact with nature overwhelms you from the first step you take, stepping off the small boat that carried you.
The island is tiny, yet it has at least 3 accessible beaches.
The first beach can be found near the Marina of Trisonies.The beach of the island starts after the last taverna and is the one for which you don’t need to take supplies with you, since everything is around you within walking distance.
Pounda beach or Red Beach (because of the colour of its pebbles) is located in the south-eastern part of the island (2 km from the port). You can reach it through a path that starts from the dirt road around the harbour of the island.On the island there are also the necessary signs to make sure you are following the right path. The beach is small and has a cedar tree that creates natural shade.
Unorganized is also the beach Aspra Chalikia, which again gets its name from the color of its pebbles. It is located in the western part of the island and is also accessed by a path that starts from the natural harbour of the island.
The waters at any beach of Trisonies, no matter which beach you choose to swim in, are crystal clear and cool.
Delphi, the so-called navel of the Earth in antiquity, was a spiritual meeting point of the Greeks, a religious centre with many sanctuaries and the most important pan-Hellenic oracle of ancient Greece. There, Pythia carried the oracles of Apollo to the visitors – pilgrims who arrived from Greek regions and foreign countries.
Very close to the famous archaeological site, which receives hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, you will find the modern town of Delphi, at the foot of Mount Parnassus, near Arachova. Choose the area for your winter holidays within walking distance of the Parnassos ski resort, but at any time of the year, and explore the area. Here, the mountain, beautiful nature, internationally renowned archaeological monuments and cultural sites, and the sea are ideally combined.
Built on a peninsula between the homonymous lagoon and that of Kleissova, at the mouth of the Euinos and Acheloos rivers, Messolonghi, with about 13,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the prefecture.
The most popular version states that the name of the city comes from the combination of the Italian words mezzo and langhi (Mezzolanghi), meaning ‘the middle of lakes’ or messo langhi (Messolanghi), meaning ‘place in the middle of lakes’.
The “Little Venice” of Greece goes by the name of Aetoliko. It is a jewel in the middle of the Aetoliko-Mesologgio lagoon. It is also called the “nerine city” because it is developed on a small island rooted in the water.
Apart from its natural beauty, it also has a rich history as it was the place where Karaiskakis was tried on April 1, 1824, by his opponents who wanted to remove him from the military leadership of the revolution.
Aitoliko started as a small island cluster in the middle of the lagoon, where fishermen joined their shores with wooden bridges. Little by little, these little islands came together to create the first single island.
The monastery of Panagia Prousiotissa or Moni Prousos is one of the few monasteries that survive in Evritania.
