Kryoneri

An outstanding holiday venue in Aitoloakarnania, this coastal settlement, a seaport for Galatas village, was according to locals named after the very cold waters of some of the area’s abounding natural springs.
Lying west of Messolonghi, east of Nafpaktos and Antirion, at the southern tip of the prefecture and imaginably across the city of Patras, Kryoneri is characterized by the impressive landscape that is revealed as the foothills of Mt. Varasova – beloved by climbers throughout Greece – drop down with their steep rocky slopes onto the coast.
Being a small harbor for fishing and pleasure boats, featuring cafes, ouzo restaurants, fish taverns and plenty of rooms for rent on the beach and in the wider area, the serviced beach, fine-pebbled and sandy, with shallow waters and children-friendly, make Kryoneri a pole of attraction for family vacations, while regular visitors include lovers of free camping and climbing.
