Chlemoutsi

The French chose an excellent strategic location for this castle. From here they saw both their harbor near modern Killini, and the entire western strait between the Peloponnese and Zakynthos - Kefalonia, and the entrance to the bay of Korynthe. The northwestern coastal strip has few high hills. The hill of Kastro is the highest point in the wider area. In itself a strange relic, because it is a remnant of the marl area that once covered the entire plain east of this place. But that layer was completely eroded.
