Mountainous Nafpaktia has recently become one of the most popular destinations. However, it still retains its purity and authenticity and offers a taste of traditional Greek hospitality. Following the provincial roads, you can reach the little villages on the steep slopes of the mountains. Most of them are completely deserted in winter, but full of life in summer as all the locals spend their holidays there. Platanos is probably the liveliest and most crowded village of the area and it even possesses some tourist facilities.

Trichonida, the largest lake in Etoloakarnania - Greece, has a surface of 97 square km, a perimeter of 51 km and a maximum depth of 58 meters. It probably owes its name to the ancient Aetolian town, Trichoneion. Trichonida has great aesthetic, ecological and fishing value as it hosts a large number of rare or endangered plants and animal species.

Evinos is the second biggest river of Aetolia. Based on a Greek myth, it took its name by the King of Calydon, Evinos, who drowned in the waters of the river when his daughter Marpissa was abducted by Ida. The river is curvy and this is why it is called Fidaris (=Snake). It is 92 kilometers in length and it starts from Vardousia (West) to end up in the Gulf of Patras, between Evinochori and Krioneri. It passes through mountainous Nafpaktos where the conditions are perfect for sports like rafting and canoeing. The area is also ideal for hiking, mountain bike or horse riding.

Paleros is a famous destination for vacationers. One of the most well-known beaches of the area is Vathiavali; 10 kilometers from Paleros and right after Porto Varko. In order to reach the beautiful green waters you need to follow the dirt road right off the main road. The beach is organized.

About ten kilometers from Messolonghi, Krioneri got its name from the springs near the estuary of the River Evinos. The place is organized with sun beds, umbrellas and a beach bar. The beach is pebbly and the bottom of the sea is sandy. Varasova Mountain is a favorite destination for all climbers. The view of the sea from the top of the mountain is absolutely amazing.
