De Bosset Bridge
Γέφυρα Δεβοσέτου
A stone bridge built in 1813 across the Argostoli lagoon, once one of the world's longest stone bridges over water.
Built in 1813 under the supervision of Swiss-born engineer De Bosset during British rule, the bridge spans the Koutavos lagoon between Argostoli and Dilapano. It is about 690 metres long and was once one of the longest sea-crossing stone bridges in the world. A monument in the middle commemorates the British period. Today it is open only to walkers and cyclists, and it is a popular evening stroll for locals, with views of Argostoli harbour and Mount Ainos. It is free to visit and can be reached on foot from the city centre.
