Mesolongi is a small town on a large sea lake in western Greece. The town’s main industry is fishing and trading fish roe. Although the scenery is beautiful and the beaches are stunning, the town doesn’t receive many foreign tourists, although quite a few Greek families visit each year. Historically, the most significant event in Mesolongi was the Exodus, when besieged residents failed in their attempt to exit the town during the Greek Revolution and were slaughtered by the Ottomans. Today, a beautiful park stands in the city center in memory of this event. Visiting Mesolongi gives visitors the opportunity to visit other nearby towns such as Patra, Nafpaktos, Astakos, and many others. Map
