Koutavos Lagoon

Koutavos Lagoon

The lagoon at the head of Argostoli Bay is a nature reserve and a lovely place to hang out and escape the hustle and bustle. You can hire a small boat or pedalo and take in the beauty of the lagoon at your leisure – you might spot the native Caretta Caretta sea turtles if you’re lucky. Or simply stroll around the lagoon and spot all kinds of birds that gather in this peaceful place.
