Iksi explored the area of the Messolonghi lagoons :

National Park Of The Messolonghi – Aitoliko Lagoon
"The National Park of the Messolonghi – Aitoliko Lagoon, downstream of the rivers Evinos and Acheloos and the islands of Echinades” (for short the National Park of the Messolonghi Lagoon), is located at the south-western tip of Central Greece, where the Patraikos Gulf meets the Ionian Sea and the rivers Evinos and Acheloos flow out. It is one of the richest wetlands in Europe, both in number of species and in abundance. This extensive deltaic ecosystem is covered by the Ramsar Convention and is included in the Natura 2000 network as a Special Conservation Area and a Special Protection Area for birds."
