We take you on our excursion to see the beauty of Argostoli, the capital and main port of the island of Kefalonia (Kefalonia), and to see all the surroundings. Discover with us this beautiful city of just over 13,000 inhabitants, a privileged tourist destination in Greece.
The island of Kefalonia has an impressive history behind it, and it has shaped its beauty and the multicultural warmth of its people. The Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Turkish influences have been noted in multiple peculiarities. Another crucial fact: the island was devastated by an earthquake in 1953, and had to be completely "reinvented". The wonderful capital -Argostoli- is a true reflection of the beauty of the entire island, and surprises the traveler with the brightness of its promenade and its special colours. A curiosity: did you know that Argostoli was the second Greek city to have electricity and public lighting?
