Photo from "Alykes" tavern, Tourlida, Messolonghi lagoon, Etoloakarnania (Etolia & Akarnania), Central Greece. The Lagoon of Messolonghi is an important wetland protected by the Ramsar convention and Natura 2000. It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places I have seen in my country. Lots of fish there, but also some fine fisherman's stilt huts, called "Peladas", Besides that, Messolonghi is the only town of Greece, declared "Hiera Polis" ("Sacred town") because of the heroic fight of its inhabitants during the years of the Greek struggle for Independence against the Ottoman Empire
