Mountain biking
It was a great experience for me and our group of cyclists to slowly approach the city over this bridge and enjoy the changing view.

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.

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.
