Ancient Calydon is located in "Kourtaga", around five hundred meters away from Evinochori. The town was built near the right bank of Evinos River, at the foot of Mount Arakynthos.

    According to the legend, it owes its name to the son of Etolos and Pronoi, while it is also mentioned by Homer as one of the five Etolian cities that participated in the siege of Troy
