Morning light slants over the Ionian and you’re on a coastal road that climbs and falls with the island’s limestone ribs. Waves rim distant coves while olive groves slide past the minivan; the day opens with Assos — a compact village of narrow lanes, pastel façades and a low Venetian castle that watches the sea. The place invites slow steps, a coffee at a harbor taverna and a pebble-strewn pause at the local beach.
