Myrtos Beach, Kefalonia
The incredible Myrtos Beach in Kefalonia has won countless awards for being one of the beast beaches in the Mediterranean. The long white pebble beach and turquoise waters sparkle throughout the day but it is at sunset from the cliff top when the beach is at it’s most mesmerising.
Portara, Naxos
The Portara is the entrance door to the remains of a temple that dates back to the 6th Century BC and was believed to have been dedicated to Apollo. Previously located on a hill, it is now a separate little island that is connected to the mainland by a short causeway. As the sunsets the door perfectly frames the changing colours before the sky slowly turns dark and the Portara is lit up by some perfectly placed lighting.
