Lagοon ISLANDS
Messolonghi: The Sacred Town and its Lagoon
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Explore the historical islands adorned with beautiful churches, casting charming reflections in the tranquil waters of Messolonghi's lagoon. This serene setting hosts some of Greece's most stunning sunsets, enveloping "pelades" (fishermen's houses on the water) and "ibaria" (fishermen's work places) in a cinematic panorama. Special "gaites" (fishing boats) add vibrant colors to the scene, floating gracefully atop the lagoon's shallow, narrow waters. The interplay of hues and reflections creates a truly spectacular sight, unique in Greece.
