Panagiotis Palamas, the ancestor of the Palamanians was born in 1722 at a house of architectural distinction.
The same residence has been also the birthplace of our National poet Kostis Palamas, after he became an orphan in 1865 and went to the house of his father’s brother Dimitrios. Here, Kostis Palamas stayed until he completed his education and wrote his first poems. In the halls, corridors, and balcony conservatory of the house, one can find personal items, paintings, and documents from his life and great deeds.

A few kilometers outside of Messolongi, on the road to Etoliko one can see the church of Panagia of Finikia. The chapel, built in 1804, is an island within the lagoon waters.
The church stands proudly among the salt mines (Alykes) and perfectly integrates with the landscape, transforming it beyond a pilgrimage destination to a unique attraction that charms every visitor with its picturesque character.
Finikia was also the favorite destination of Lord Byron, he went there to relax, during his stay at Messolonghi.
