Myrtos Beach is known for its bright turquoise water and the shining white pebble beach, framed by imposing, approximately 1000-meter-high marble cliffs. The beach has been repeatedly awarded as the most beautiful beach in Greece. The beach served as a filming location for the movie „Captain Corelli’s Mandolin”. Ideal for swimming and enjoying sunsets. Water sports are prohibited here.

Tassos Cafe (or Tasos Cafe) is a popular, traditional Greek cafe in the picturesque mountain village of Komitata. It is known for its warm hospitality, homemade desserts, and the breathtaking view over the Ionian Sea to the island of Ithaca. The fresh lemon cake and the "Tassos-cino" are particularly appreciated. The cafe is located in a building that is over 100 years old. It was lovingly renovated and reopened by Tassos Tsimas.

The obelisk is located on a small artificial island right next to the historic De Bosset Bridge (formerly Drapano Bridge), which crosses the bay of Argostoli. Erected in 1813, the obelisk served as a sign of gratitude from the Parliament of Kefalonia to Great Britain. It is often also called Kolona. Despite the severe earthquake of 1953, the obelisk and parts of the bridge survived the catastrophe.

(2) In the middle of the bridge stands a striking marble obelisk, erected in honor of its builders. It separates the Koutavos lagoon from the rest of the harbor basin. Today it is a purely pedestrian bridge, after it was extensively renovated between 2011 and 2013. The bridge is a popular place for walks, especially in the evening when it is illuminated. With a bit of luck, you can even observe sea turtles (loggerhead sea turtle) in the water from there.

The De-Bosset Bridge (also called Drapano Bridge) is a prominent historical landmark. It is considered the world's longest stone sea bridge. The bridge is approximately 690 meters long (exactly 689.9 meters according to Guinness World Records). It was originally built in 1813 as a wooden structure by the Swiss engineer Charles-Philippe De Bosset, who was then governor of the island. It was later rebuilt in stone. Originally, it was intended to connect Argostoli to the mainland, facilitating access to the town, as previously one had to go around the Koutavos Lagoon.

From Argostoli, you look directly east across the bay at the opposite district of Drapano (Δράπανο). You can see the wooded shore of Drapano, which is significantly less densely built-up than the city center of Argostoli. De Bosset Bridge: To the right in the field of vision (south), the historic stone bridge stretches across the bay of Argostoli, connecting the city with Drapano. Drapano Hill: In the background, the island's hilly landscape rises, forming a natural backdrop from this position. Argostoli Yacht Marina: Immediately in front of you (on your own shore), you see the jetties of the marina, where yachts and sailboats often anchor.

The obelisk commemorates the British protectorate.

The bridge with the obelisk is really beautiful. It's also a great view from the mountain.
