Makyneia (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Μακύνεια) is a seaside village and a community in Nafpaktia, Aetolia-Acarnania, Greece.[1] The community includes the villages Agrapidokampos, Agios Polykarpos and Riza.
Makyneia is situated on the northeast coast of the Gulf of Patras, 4.5 km west of Antirrio. The Greek National Road 5 (Patras-Antirrio-Agrinio-Ioannina), which has recently been bypassed by the Motorway 5 (also the E55), passes through the village.
See main article: Macynia. Settlement at Makyneia, under various names, including the ancient town of Macynia, dates back to the ancient times, may be as early as the Homeric age. It was a town of western Locris and later Aetolia.[1] Until 1980, the settlement was known as Kato Mammako (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Κάτω Μαμμάκω).[2]
