A low sun gilds the cliffs above Myrtos as the bus eases onto the viewpoint road and the sea below dares you to dive in. White-pebble shoals shimmer against a ribbon of turquoise, then the tour thread pulls you along coastal roads to Assos’ pastel alleys and finally to Fiscardo’s harbor, where varnished boats bob like punctuation marks against Venetian facades.
