Palairos is a picturesque town in mainland Greece embraced by the waters of the Ionian Gulf. It is situated between Vonitsa and Mytikas and houses about 2,500 inhabitants. The town has a long history and was one of the most important ports in mainland Greece. To this day, the ruins of Kechropoula are preserved. They are one of the most impressive examples of Acarnanian fortification walls. Moreover, in the area of Palia Plagia, you can visit the archaeological site of Sterna and the Venetian Castle of Agios Giorgos. At the foot of the Acarnaian Mountains, settles the St.Dimitrios Monastery. The locals consider it to be the protector of Paleros and its people. Legend has it that a huge rock fell from the mountain and Saint Dimitrios stopped the boulder from demolishing the church.
