Since 2009 one of the biggest sporting events in the country, the National Championship Canoe-Kayak takes place in the lagoon of Messolonghi.

  Sporting clubs from all over Greece come to our city to participate in this major sporting event. The lagoon is then filled with dozens of boats and young athletes who give their best, paddling in the unique wetland of the Messolonghi lagoon. It is a high sport level organization that both locals and residents from the wider region come to watch.
