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.

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.

We stayed in Lassi, but because we hired a car we popped into Argostoli a few times at night for a change of scene. We ate at La Gondola both times because the food was so good and it was great for people watching. There are plenty of funky music bars to choose from behind La Gondola and up towards the shops there are modern street cafe bars. Shops are quite expensive, but nice for browsing after you've eaten.

if you go go at night much better atmosphere.

Last year my husband and I we went to Kefalonia.We stayed at Eleni Studios in Lourdas.One day we visited Argostoli.It was O.K. Lourdas is nicer thoughou.We will be back.
