Hotels and rooms to let in Naupaktia

It seems that the ancient village was at Kastri, south side of the village above Kotsalos bridge, where we can find besides the ancient foundings also the ruins of four temples ( Agios Vasilios, Agios Panteleimon, Agios Ioannis and Agia Triada at Skompodo)

It is still unknown why it was trasfered at Palaiochori on the left side of Mairema (Kozitsianos), at the north east from the todays village
where we find the ruined temples of Agia Paraskeuh, Agios Athanasios, Profitis Ilias, Agios Nikolaos.


At 1927 Kozitsa is considered as a foreign word  that replaced to Kastri to be Ambelakiotisa at 1928 from Panagia. It is a village that is surrounded with virgin nature and multiple colors in its surroundings that broaden our emotions. At the south side we meet the beautiful river Kotsalos with its well known bridge. There are two important christian temples in the village.
