It is located in the southern part of Etoloakarnania having as natural boundaries river Evinos from the east, the Gulf of Patras from the south, Mount Arakinthos from the north and finally the city of Messolonghi from the west.

   In a historical perspective, Evinochori is inextricably linked in a cultural, customary and geopolitical way both with ancient Calydon and the Sacred City of Messolonghi, all three connected with a common course throughout the centuries.

 

 The residents of Bohori (as the village is widely known among locals call) are mostly engaged in agricultural work activities, cultivating the fertile plain of Evinohori principally with cotton. Furthermore, other crops preferred are corn and grapes, along with wheat and barley. Lately, many have engaged in growing citrus and olives, having even joined biological programs, given that the valley is very fertile. 

There are several places of interest in Evinochori, not only of historical importance but from an entertainment aspect as well. The village has plenty of remarkable events and traditions that make every guest fall in love with this place, looking forward to visit it again.

The visitor is also given the opportunity to experience some unique moments, by watching or even taking part to the local customs and summer events organized by the local Associations.
