The Rio Fortress is a 15th-century Ottoman castle built on the tip of a narrow peninsula, strategically positioned to control the entrance to the Gulf of Corinth. It sits directly next to the modern Rio–Antirrio Bridge. You can explore its triangular layout, stone walls and seawater moat, which offer panoramic views of the strait. At either side of the fortress you'll find narrow pebbly beaches, known as East Beach and West Beach of the Castle, providing a quick dip in the clear waters with a historic backdrop and an unparalleled view of the bridge.

Killary Harbour, nestled between counties Mayo and Galway, is one of three glacial fjords that exist in Ireland today.

Alternatively, you can go on a boat tour and enjoy the majestic views. There's a chance you might spot seals and dolphins.
