Kravara

Kravara (Κράβαρα) is a historical socio-cultural mountain region in Aetolia-Acarnania, central Greece. It covers the northernmost part of the Nafpaktia Mountains, as well as parts of Thermo.

The name appears for the first time in Ottoman times, as the Land of Kravari (Ottoman Turkish: Kravari Ili), part of the Sanjak of Tirhala, in a cadaster dated to 1454/55.

To the west of Kravara is the historical region of Apokouros in Panaitoliko, coinciding with the modern municipality of Thermo, and further west in the Acarnanian Mountains was medieval Little Vlachia.

The Varnakova monastery is located in Kravara.
