Astakos (Greek Αστακός, \"lobster\") sits on the western Greek mainland coast, on the Ionian shore of the Aetolia-Acarnania region halfway between Preveza and Patras. The town holds a working fishing harbour and one of the few mainland charter pickup bases in this stretch of coast — a quieter alternative to the busier Lefkada and Preveza marinas. Astakos serves as a popular departure point for routes east into the small Ionian island cluster: Kalamos (a wooded island, 30 minutes east) and Kastos (the smallest inhabited Ionian, 60 minutes southeast), plus the small uninhabited Atokos and Provati islets that sit just off the mainland coast. The town's seafront promenade holds a row of fish tavernas; behind the harbour, the inland Aetolian mountains hold ancient ruins and the wide Acheloos River delta. Astakos is 90 minutes from Lefkada north by sail. Season runs April through October.
