You can do a lot of things by visiting the capital, like walking the cobblestone beach road full of palm trees and colorful pebbles, or see the new Wallianu Square around which you can find bars, cafes and restaurants for all tastes. Lithostroto Street (Cobbled Street) is the capital’s main commercial road, complete with all kinds of shops. We recommend a visit to the Botanical Garden, the Folklore Museum and also the Archeological Museum. A few kilometers from the center of Argostol, it’s a beautiful beacon with donated columns known as the Lantern. There, don’t forget to enjoy the wonderful… sunset!

The beach is made of fine sand with a stunning clean sea that is never too deep, not far enough from the coast.

The beach is divided into two different places, a wilder and relaxing one, and the other more organized for tourism with lying down, umbrellas and traditional Greek restaurants.

FISCARDO

Fiscardo, which lies along the northern coast, is one of the most subjective villages in Cephalonia. It is still a fishing destination with its graphically small homes near the sea and its magnificent local port.

Fiscardo is also famous by the Greek people, as it is one of the few places not destroyed by the terrible earthquake during 1953.

There are really a huge number of beaches, isolated and crowded, in the village of Fiscardo, with clean sea water surrounded by trees.

At night the village of Fiscardo becomes one of the most romantic places in Cephalonia.

Under a starry sky you can have a tasty meal at a traditional Greek tavern, you can sit in a local cafe bar, or just walk along narrow streets between the old houses.
