The left side is referred to as Limni, while the right is known as Porto Timoni. Along the route, you’ll come across the remnants of medieval fortifications that once stood guard against pirates and corsairs, infusing the landscape with a sense of history. Following the same path, you’ll eventually reach Cape “Akra Arilla,” home to the charming cave-ensconced chapel of “Agios Stylianos.” The peninsula’s tip, affectionately known as the “Head of Mourgis,” takes on the distinctive shape of a dog’s head.
