Taste of Kefalonia
Argostoli is home to some of the finest restaurants on the island, serving authentic Kefalonian dishes with fresh local ingredients. Walk from our studios into the heart of town and discover traditional tavernas where you can enjoy meat pies, moussaka, fresh seafood, and the island's famous Robola wine. From waterfront dining to hidden gems in the back streets, every meal is an experience.
Discover the Wild Side
Kefalonia is a paradise for nature lovers. Right from the port of Argostoli you can spot the famous Caretta Caretta sea turtles swimming in the harbour. Take a walk to Fanari, the lighthouse at the tip of the peninsula, for stunning sunset views. Or head to Koutavos lagoon, a peaceful natural lake connected to the sea, where you'll find swans, ducks, and beautiful walking paths surrounded by greenery.
Sun, Sand & Crystal Waters
Kefalonia boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. Near Argostoli, the locals' favourites are Makris Yialos and Platis Yialos -- golden sand beaches with turquoise waters just a short bus ride away. For a truly unforgettable experience, visit the world-famous Myrtos Beach with its dramatic white cliffs, Antisamos with its lush green backdrop, or the hidden gem Petani Beach on the west coast.
Explore by Sea
From the port of Argostoli you can take a boat to reach secluded beaches like Fteri, accessible only by sea. Book a daily cruise around the island and discover hidden caves, remote coves, and swim in waters so clear you can see the seabed. Full-day and half-day trips are available throughout the summer, with many including stops for snorkelling and lunch on board.
Peak of the Island
For hikers and mountain lovers, Mount Ainos is a must. Standing at 1,628 metres, it's the highest point in the Ionian Islands and home to a national park with the unique Kefalonian fir trees found nowhere else on earth. The hiking trails offer breathtaking panoramic views over the island and the sea. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Zakynthos and the Peloponnese.
Summer Vibes
When the sun goes down, Argostoli comes alive. The town offers a vibrant nightlife scene with cocktail bars, music venues, and clubs along the waterfront. During summer, many of the island's beaches host parties and events with live DJs, creating that perfect Greek island atmosphere. From a relaxed evening drink by the harbour to dancing until dawn, Kefalonia has it all.
