Triklino ((ギリシア語:Τρίκλινο), before 1927: Πριάντζα - ''Priantza''〔(Name changes of settlements in Greece )〕), is a small mountain village (altitude 600 m.). It is located in the northwest part of Greece and belongs to Aetolia-Acarnania. The artificial lake Kremasta is the boundary of the village with neighbouring Evrytania. The village belongs to the Inachos municipal unit. Its population is about 200 inhabitants. The nearest major city is Agrinio. ==History== The village first appears under the name "Priantza" in the official catalogue of the Greek State in the year 1840. Originally, the name "Triklino" referred to a settlement at the neighbouring valley of the river Achelous. The valley was cultivated mostly with corn plantations. It was abandoned during the early 60s, when the government compensated the farmers in order to construct a large dam at a place known as "Kremasta". The settlement and the cultivated land were eventually covered with water. A huge artificial lake was formed in the area, and is now known as "Kremasta lake". The following people from the village are the most known in the region: 1.The fighter for the independence of Greece (1821–1829) Kasvikis Giannakis, who lost his life struggling against the Turks on a small island ( named Dolmas) near Mesolongi during the war for the independence of Greece (28 - 2 - 1826).

His brothers Alexandros Papaioannou, (army officer) and Christoforos, (teacher), were also members of the same organisation.
