Aetolia
Aetolia is a mountainous region of west-central Greece, north of the Gulf of Corinth, between Acarnania and the Achelous to the west and Phocis and Locris to the east. In the Hellenistic period its people formed the Aetolian League, a strong federal state. In the Middle Ages it passed between Byzantines, Epirote rulers, Albanian clans, Venice and the Ottomans. Its towns include Missolonghi and Nafpaktos.
