TLDR
The Acheloos and small Evinos deltas have been occupied for at least 2300 years and air photographs show three former major distributary channels were occupied by at least 5,000 years.About:

The environmental state of rivers in the Balkans—A review within the DPSIR framework
TL;DR: Fifteen major Balkan rivers with over 80% of the inflows in Eastern Mediterranean were examined for their environmental state within the DPSIR framework, finding that lowland river sections are hydro-morphologically modified and are at the greatest pollution risk, while upstream areas mostly retain their natural conditions.

Late Quaternary tectonic and sedimentary history of outer Izmir and Candarli bays, western Turkey
TL;DR: In this article, air-gun and 3.5-kHz seismic profiles from the eastern Aegean Sea off Turkey show that the continental shelf of outer Izmir and Candarli bays is formed by several superimposed deltaic sequences during times of lowered sea level associated with late Quaternary glaciations, deltas prograded seaward more than 60 km from their present positions.

Alternating marine and lacustrine sedimentation during late Quaternary in the Gulf of Corinth rift basin, central Greece
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed interpretation of the history of the Gulf of Corinth in the past hundred thousand years is presented, based on the seismic stratigraphy of the region. But the authors do not consider the impact of marine and lacustrine sediments on the seafloor.

Late Quaternary evolution of the Gulf of Patras, Greece: Tectonism, deltaic sedimentation and sea-level change
TL;DR: The Gulf of Patras is an actively subsiding late Cenozoic graben in western Greece that receives deltaic sediment from the large Acheloos and Evinos rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternary tectonics in the Gulf of Patras, western Greece
TL;DR: In this article, air-gun seismic and 3.5 kHz profiling data from the Gulf of Patras, western Greece, show that it is occupied by a small asymmetric graben with several geometric similarities to the larger-scale graben in the gulf of Corinth to the east.
