Storia
Echinus or Echinos was an ancient Greek town of Acarnania. Legend has it that it was founded by a Greek mythological figure named Echinus. It is mentioned by the poet Rhianus, and appears in the list of cities of Acarnania transmitted by Pliny the Elder, who places it between Heraclea and Actium. The site of Echinus is near the modern town of Vonitsa, probably the kastro of Profitis Elias.
