The two ports

Kyllini (Κυλλήνη)

Kyllini is run by the Municipal Port Fund of Kyllini. The port describes itself as the Ionian's busiest port for ferry passengers, and the gateway from the mainland to Zakynthos and Kefalonia. The Frankish castle of Chlemoutsi stands on the hill inland, and you often see it from the ferry.
