Visit the museums of Argostoli

The rich history of Kefalonia comes from many landmarks in the years of its existence.

Morning walk on the beach of Argostoli

There is no better way to start your day than a walk by the sea! Enjoy the sun, the sounds of the sea and the tranquility of the island. Walking next to the fishermen’s boats, you will see the loggerhead sea turtles swimming among them and completing the beautiful landscape. In Kefalonia you do not need to go far to see wonderful phenomena like this!
