Since early 18th century, Messolonghi has been a major maritime power, playing a key role in the maritime transportation to and from Italy and Malta, and thus developed a very strong fleet. 

   Despite the fact that today the harbor of Messolonghi does not have the same dynamic, nevertheless it is an ideal spot to take a walk or make a stop for lunch or coffee.

     You may not run into large ships or fancy, expensive vessels, but this small port hosts several boats and sailboats. Within the past few years, many locals have opened catering businesses, which attract especially during the summer season both locals and tourists, who want to taste some delicious fresh sea food accompanied with a great lagoon view!

   Of course, the sunset view from there is simply breathtaking. One can truly experience a moment of real magic when seeing the calm waters of the lagoon bathed in the beautiful sunset colors.
