Argostoli lies along the sheltered waters of Argostoli Bay on Kefalonia’s southwest coast, where a broad inlet and the island’s slopes shape the capital’s waterfront setting. The town is the administrative centre of Kefalonia, the largest of the Ionian Islands, and its quays bring together ferries, fishing boats and cafés. The De Bosset Bridge, first built in 1813 under British rule, crosses the bay beside Koutavos Lagoon and remains one of Argostoli’s defining landmarks. Near the harbour, the Katavothres sinkholes reveal the island’s distinctive limestone geology. Argostoli is also a practical base for exploring Kefalonia’s beaches, villages and mountainous interior.
