Tips for Visiting Argostoli in Kefalonia

[toniiv]

I’m planning a trip to Kefalonia soon and will be staying in Argostoli for a few days. I’d love to get some tips on the best things to do while I’m there! I’m interested in exploring local culture, history, and nature, and I’ve heard Argostoli has a lot to offer.

I’m especially curious about any must-see sights or hidden gems around the area. I’ve heard about the Koutavos Lagoon and the De Bosset Bridge – are they worth visiting? Also, are there any great local restaurants or cafes you’d recommend for trying authentic Kefalonian food?

I love wandering around towns and soaking up the atmosphere, so if you know of any cool spots, viewpoints, or markets that are worth checking out, I’d appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks in advance for your tips and advice – I’m really looking forward to exploring Argostoli!

Argostoli is a fantastic base for exploring Kefalonia! You’re right—there’s a lot to see and experience, and it’s perfect for soaking up local culture and history. The Koutavos Lagoon and De Bosset Bridge are definitely worth visiting; the bridge offers a beautiful walk with views of the lagoon and town. It’s also a great spot for spotting turtles if you’re lucky!

While in town, explore Lithostroto Street, a pedestrian area filled with shops, cafes, and local vibes. The Archaeological Museum of Argostoli is small but offers insight into the island’s ancient history. For a taste of authentic Kefalonian food, I’d recommend dining at Oinops and Ladokolla—both serve delicious, local dishes.

If you love viewpoints, head up to the Fanari Lighthouse for stunning sea views, especially at sunset.
