Argostoli, situated at the southern part of the island, has been the capital of Cephalonia since 1797. It is built amphitheatrically at the heart of the deep gulf of Koutavos and has a well organised port.
It is the biggest town of the island with rich trade activity, a town that looks to the sea. The architecture is influenced by all the Ionian elements where the red roofs and wide terraces predominate. Its town planning is modern with large streets and many roads for pedestrians. You can visit the Archeological Museum, the Folk Museum, enjoy walking and shopping for souvenirs on the pedestrian road of Lithostroto or by the waterfront, with its delicious confectionery shops and bakeries. Plenty of cafés and restaurants can be found around the central square of the town, operating from morning till late.
You can reach it by taxi or bus ( check here to find more information about public transfers ) or you can rent a car from our car rental fleet here and give yourself the opportunity to enjoy the best experiences on Kefalonia.
