Argostoli
Couples and travellers who want town streets, a square and waterfront evenings
Vallianos Square, Lithostroto and the waterfront give Argostoli several ways to spend an evening. Kefalonia's capital sits beside a bay, with town streets and cafés that make the return from swimming part of the holiday rather than simply the end of an outing.
We would choose it when dinner and a walk through town matter as much as the beach. Couples and travellers mixing different activities can give the capital time of its own, choosing accommodation around the part they expect to use most.
Plan swimming separately from the harbour. Lassi's beaches can feature in the itinerary, but establish the actual journey and return. Check parking and luggage access at the chosen address too.
Our tip
Map the walk to Argostoli’s square and waterfront, then plan your swimming beach. A town address beside the harbour does not establish beachfront access.

Consider it when beach outings and town evenings both matter. The suitability of an individual hotel still depends on its address and your needs.
