Assos had been recommended to us, but only in calm winds, so we gave it a pass by boat and instead did it by bus from Argostoli. What a gem of a village.
The somewhat hair raising drive over gave us views of both Myrtios Beach and a view of Assos descending from the hills.
The village was Venetian, and is overlooked by an imposing Venetian palace atop the high point at the end of the peninsula. Considering the long, uphill walk and the heat of the day, we opted to give the palace a pass. Aside from that, there’s really not much to do besides eat and drink and wander to enjoy the beautiful view, so that’s exactly what we did.
