Argostoli, Kefalonia

Exploring Argostoli, the capital of Kefalonia, on foot reveals a mix of old and new.

The town's main street, Lithostroto, offers shops and cafes, while the harbor provides views of fishing boats and occasional sea turtles. Notable sights include the De Bosset Bridge spanning Koutavos Lagoon and the unusual seawater sinkholes at Katavothres.

In the evening, locals gather in Vallianou Square or take walks along the waterfront. Despite rebuilding after a major earthquake in 1953, Argostoli retains some neoclassical architecture alongside more modern structures.Les mer
