Aitoliko is a small, densely populated island that is located in the middle of a calm lagoon in Western Greece, connected to the mainland by two 30-meter-long stone arch bridges of the 19th century.

The “watery” town of Aitoliko, having a population of around 5,500 inhabitants, is situated southwest of Agrinio, northwest of Messolonghi, west of Nafpaktos and the Rio-Antirrio bridge and southeast of Astakos. Miles of salt flats and pyramids, as well as marshes hosting exotic flamingos compose its striking coastline, offering a unique optical spectacle to its visitors.
