This selection highlights the island’s geological landmarks, including the white pebble shores of Myrtos Beach and the remote limestone cliffs of Platia Ammos. Cultural sites feature the 19th-century De Bosset Bridge in Argostoli and the 16th-century hermitage of Saint Gerasimos. The list also includes the Paliki peninsula’s Gerokompos lighthouse and the Robola winery, which produces wine from the island’s indigenous white grape variety.
