Anaktorion
From ancientmedportswiki
Anactorion Acarnania The ancient Anactorion was an important city of Acarnania, founded by Corinthians in 630 BC. Declined when the Romans founded Nicopolis, on the opposite side of Amvrakikos and forced the residents to be transferred there. In Byzantine times the city flourished again, named Vonitsa this time and at the exact point where it is today. During the Ottoman rule the city passed a long time under the control of the Venetians, from 1684 to 1797. In 1832 it became part of the new Greek state. The Municipal Section owes its name to the ancient city Anactorion situated at about the current Vonitsa and was one of the most important of Acarnania.
