Rattan

The Reed is the small island in the Ionian Sea, very close to the western coast of Acarnania, just across from the village of Mytikas of Aitoloakarnania. It is mostly mountainous, the top of the mountain that dominates the island reaches 745 m. The communication to the mainland is by boat, with itineraries from and to the Mytikas on the coast of Acarnania. The island is famous for its beautiful beaches and a lot of people who visit it.

After the Battle of Peta (4 Jul. 1822) those who were unable to flee in Messolonghi landed in Kalamos, which then was under English rule.

Paleros

The town is thought to have existed from the Mycenaean period. Proof of this are the walls of the City that part of it belongs to the 2nd millennium bc.g. The construction of the walls alternated between square shaped and Polygonal system and the whole of them belongs to different periods of time. The port of Ancient Paleros was found in the place of today's Pogonias, in the Southeastern part of the Peninsula, where they have identified the remains of port facilities to the East of the village.

At the Centre of the Peninsula of the Slope in place of the Tank there was a fortress, which was controlled visually the area to the Northwest and Southeast. The fort was built in the mid-5th century, when a view is identified with the Ancient City Solion, a colony of the Corinthians. The ruins and the views of Historians on the fortress of Sterna if there was some great ancient city, and who was that differ. The Solion was a naval station of Corinth that was conquered during the Peloponnesian war, the Athenians and, according to Thucydides (430 p.X.) it was in the possession of Palereon-Akarnania.

North of the city of Paleros spreads the Lake Boulkaria, the Lake Myrtoudion by Strabo. The lake is probably a remnant of a lagoon that Is closing the extent of the current valley of Paleros during the Epic years. The lagoon that was during the delivery savior of the Queen Cleopatra, when during the Battle of Actium on the run from her pursuers passed easily with the ships of the shallow groove of Paleros. Memory the above passage of the Queen of Egypt, is the preservation of the Name of the ancient passage as a “Dock of Cleopatra”.

After the victory of the Romans at Actium in 31 bc.X., lost the trail of the ancient Paleros and Historically this has been attributed to the establishment of Nicopolis after the Battle of Actium. The foundation of Nikopolis 30 p.X. it is an important fact for the distribution of population and the economy in the whole of the Mainland.

Like most cities of Acarnania fell into decline when the Romans founded the City on the opposite side of the Amvrakikos and forced the inhabitants of the region to be transferred there. With time, the Byzantine era the city flourished again, with the name of Vonitsa this time and in the exact spot where it is today.
