This municipality has archeological sites, springs, beaches, 17 caves and of course the port that connects the island with Italy, Ithaca and Patras.

A fishing village, pebbly beaches and a small harbor are more than enough to assure the reputation as of one of the island’s top spots

The charming traditional village of Assos is situated in a small peninsula, featuring the remains of a 16th century Venetian castle, a few tavernas, a lovely bay and houses almost intact by the earthquake.

Picturesque and super popular, this seaside resort is a marvelous example of Ionian architecture, one of the few sites unharmed by the 1953 earthquake. Yachts’ and gourmands’ favorite.

While in Argostoli, take a stroll in the central square Platia Valianou and the Lithostroto, a lively pedestrian shops promenade. Also, visit the Archaeological Museum, the Korgialeneios Library (one of the biggest in Greece, with more than 55.000 volumes), the Folklore and History Museum and the church of Agios Spiridon.

Melissani Cave is a definite must see, among the best attractions of all Greek islands. Take the boat tour of the cave and witness a magnificent 20m underground spectacle: ancient stalactites, strange rock shapes and a partly collapsed roof from which sunbeams change all shades of blue inside the water.
