Argostoli - Kefalonia

Argostoli, the capital of the island of Cefalonia, is built amphitheatrically with warmth and style. Located on the side of a gently sloping hill which reaches down to the biggest natural harbour in the Mediterranean Sea and lagoon of Koutavos that faces the fir-covered Mt. Ainos.
Argostoli is the main economical, administrative, social and cultural center of the island with an important historical and cultural tradition. 

The Folklore and Archaeological museums must be visited to see the civilization and traditions of the Cefalonians through the years and the enormous Korialenios Library houses over 100,000 books detailing the history of Cefalonia in many different languages.

Along the harbor front you can find the biggest fruit and vegetable market imaginable with a huge variety of fresh products. Fishing boats come in early in the morning where you can buy fresh fish off the boat, from Sardines to large fish, shrimps and lobsters, all at very reasonable prices.

Around the central square are numerous bars, restaurants, a bouzouki club and a short distance away nightclubs.
