Missolonghi–Aitoliko Lagoons National Park

Shallow coastal lagoons between the Acheloos and Evinos rivers in western Greece

Six distinct lagoons cover 150 km2 of shallow water between the Acheloos and Evinos rivers, closed off from the Ionian Sea by a chain of sand islands. Aitoliko, the northernmost, is 28 m deep and resembles a lake more than a lagoon.
