After travelling all over Kefalonia, we always return to Argostoli, it's a truly wonderful place. We love watching the fishermen and the turtles in the bay in the morning, the fantastic bakeries, Cafe Kafenion for lunch with it's fantastic round chips and wonderful staff, we sit and watch the yachts while eating, then the Rock Cafe at night! If we are feeling energetic we even walk around the square! Love it!! |

I am in Olive Gardens (In Lassi) at the moment and I've just enjoyed a lovely barbeque! I think if you are looking for good resarants in Argostoli then go to the Captain's Table, lovely food, kind Waitors, Great view! If your lucky in the day you might meet the Dock's turtle He is very nice but he doesn't hang around for too long your lucky if you get over 25 minutes! But it is worth it if you video him! |

Avoid La Gondala restaurant it was 3 times the price of other restaurants and we found out that the owner isnt from Kefalonia he is just making a quick buck. we really didnt like the food, the waiters were arrogant....be warned... |

Argostoli is a lovely little place. we have been 7 times and its just great. very clean, very friendly locals and the food is excellent. we also took some videos of tommy the loggerhead turtle who swims in the bay at argostoli so look out for him. a great little island. |

Argostoli, what a wonderful place to spend a warm summers evening, there are many resturants to choose from, i have to say we have tried nearly all of them, a walk along the front after your evening meal, if your lucky you will see the turtles swimming in the bay, i have yet to try the evening cruises so looking forward to that experience. |

Great base from which to start your trips around the island. The Glass Bottom Boat trip can be booked from here, directly with Captain Markis, whose boat can be found moored outside Captains Restaurant most evenings. Siesta is 2pm until 6pm and hardly any of the shops are open on a Sunday, although it may be different in high season(?) There are no parking restrictions - which was very liberating! Be careful crossing the road, particularly at pedestrian crossings believe it or not - as it doesn't seem to stop the cars, even when you are part way over. It was a mystery as to what they were for, they didn't seem to serve any meaningful purpose. |

Wonderful place to visit in the evening, looking at the boats in the port and sipping coctails in the square where the local children play and familys meet. Take the ferry over to Lixouri for 2 euros it runs every half hour.
Look out for the turtles in the port they are amazing. |

| Lovely small town but be careful of prices in the main square - some are ridiculous. 18 euros for spag bol??!! eat on the very front and eat where the locals eat. Great atmosphere. Take the ferry to Lixouri. |

We were staying in Lassi, but Argostoli is within walking distance.It's
easily the biggest town on the island. Thee is a nice pedestrian
shopping street called Lithostoto, which also opens some evenings.
Plenty of bars and restaurants around the main square, which was lively
at night time. Parking was easy but possibly not in the summer. Well
worth a visit if you are staying on Kefalonia. [also recommend Premier
and La Gondola restaurants]
