Wear comfortable shoes and arm yourself with curiosity: Argostoli is the ideal city for those who love discovering places and cultures at a leisurely pace.
We start from the Focas-Cosmetatos Museum, which survived the 1953 earthquake: If you look closely at its external architecture, you'll get a feel of the atmosphere of its era.
Cross Vallianos Square, the largest in the city center, and you'll find yourself in the Napier Gardens, an urban oasis commissioned by a nature-loving British governor in the early 19th century.
Change of scenery: The seafront promenade welcomes you with typical sights and flavors. The dock, the fish market and, with a bit of luck, a few loggerhead sea turtles will be your backdrop as you taste Greek-style vegetables and savory pies served in a seafront restaurant.
The De Bosset Bridge, built in 1813, is the longest stone sea bridge in the world, as well as the perfect spot to take some photos of the whole Koutavos Lagoon and the old British obelisk.
Finally, walk along Lithostroto Street, renowned for its boutiques, cafés and restaurants, to fully experience the capital of Kefalonia's lifestyle.
