Very humbling. Beautiful memorial and just down the path there is another smaller memorial. It's traditional Greek and there is a ruin building near. There are no plaques so I have no idea what the building was, but the graffiti was from the 40s. I recommend this memorial beware it's at the tip of a steep hill.

Monument for the Italian Aqui Division murdered by the Nazis after they had surrendered in WWII. I just hoped to have a better view over the sea. We passed by as a form of respect for their sacrifice and the history of the island.

Very respectful monument on the hill above Argostoli to the fallen of the Acqui Division. I only learned about the fate of the thousands of Italian soldiers massacred or drowned after stumbling across this memorial. Yet another reminder of the waste and horror of war.

Beautifully cared for memorial to the Italian Acqui Division who were brutally executed during WW2, It's a tribute to those who fell, but also to the local Kefalonians who honour that sacrifice in this monument. For a short video click this link: https://youtu.be/cf8VCMtrnfA?si=C6HWxMfzguSS6OFf

Nice walk up to the monument. Can drive up too. Memorial to the massacred Italian soldiers of the Acqui division. Very simple but moving.

I’m deducting a star because there wasn’t enough information on either the plaque or the QR code. It was also difficult to find & gates were closed off.

A nice monument to a dark part of history with a second monument near by on the site of the atrocity, it could do with more information but is easy to read up on it if you don't know the story

Not too busy, but I think we were about 30 minutes early, I've seen photos of this place from golden hour and it looks great. There's a bit of a graffiti problem so if you want "nice" photos you may need to do some editing.

Nice place to visit, you will have to park in the road as no car park. Spent 15 minutes looking around it is about all you need, just a shame about the graffiti but I suppose you get that anywhere, but worth a visit if you are in the area.

Just a few kilometers from the city, there is a tourist attraction known as Fanari, that is, the Saint Theodore Lighthouse. 😍 The original lighthouse was built in 1829 during the British rule. It is a circular building in the Doric style with 20 columns and a tower 8 meters high. During the 1953 earthquake, it was badly damaged, but it was rebuilt in 1960. P.S. You can have a long walk to the lighthouse from Argostoli, for me it was simpler and nicer to go by car.🌴🇬🇷💫

Didn't get to the light but close . Great coastal walk

Not an awful lot there but worth a visit. Popular wedding photo venue, and busy when we visited. Understandable as it's very scenic and beautiful at sunset.

This light house is around 30 minutes’ walk from city centre. It’s worth doing since the lighthouse has very good view by seaside, especially during sunset of the day.

A lovely small lighthouse near the main road, very easy to get close with mobility issues as well and there is no entry ticket. The view is beautiful!

If you're in Argostoli, make time to walk this bridge. One of my favorite things I experienced while on Cephalonia. Tranquil walk and lovely view of the city from here.

A historic bridge, a scenic walkway and viewing site for turtles, though we just saw an egret catching the many fish

A highlight in Argostoli is its longest stone bridge in the world over a sea (at almost 700m), a marvel of ever-changing colors. Built in the early 19th century, it withstood several earthquakes, in particular the tragic 1953 one which flattened the city. It zigzags across the shallow bay, giving strollers time to watch rich marine life all around. A delightful walk at all times of day and night.

Convenient bridge with clear shallow water on both sides. Also an historic monument, it connects Argostoli to the other side and it is about a 10 minute walk. If it's busy in the city you can park your car at the other side and walk to the city.

A visit to the De Bosset Bridge is an absolute must-do when you're in Argostoli. This historic stone bridge is not just a way to get from one side of the bay to the other; it's a beautiful, peaceful walk with stunning views. As you stroll across, you can see the clear turquoise waters, and it's a great spot to watch the local fishing boats and the occasional loggerhead turtle swimming below. The monument in the center adds a touch of historical grandeur, and the entire experience is incredibly serene, especially in the morning or late afternoon. It truly connects the main town of Argostoli with the surrounding landscape in a special way. This bridge is more than a landmark; it's an experience that captures the essence of Kefalonia's tranquil beauty. I can't recommend it enough—make sure you take the time to walk its length.

The most famous place in this city, which you should visit. And if you can handle it, cross it to the other side. You will get unique experience by crossing the sea by the bridge and also beautiful city views.

A nice relaxing walk, we walked it in the hour before sunset and saw some turtles.

Very handy, because the area has a mud bottom where it can be hard to anchor. Had a great time mainly due to great neighbors. No water or electricity of course, making your own is best. Touristic city right across a nice bridge. Beautiful surroundings.

What a lovely place nice seeing the turtles in the harbour

Very nice marina, it's sad that it isn't maintained by anyone

A bustling area of the town. Popular with tourists with many restaurants on the waterside. If you're lucky you can spot turtles during the morning. Small boat hire and walking/Park areas near by. Maybe easier to find parking on the edge of town and walk approx 1km to the harbour area.

Very nice, perfect spot for Yacht

Unfinished marina. No facilities, no electricity, no water. Alongside only.

Argostoli Marina is an unfinished project built 25 years ago. I keep my boat there. It is free to use. There is no power or water available here as a normal operating marina. There are no services or shops etc like a normal marina. As of 2023 a buyer wS found and at some point in the future it will be rebuilt as a normal working commercial marina

Nice beach with clear, shallow water. The seabed has both sand and some rocks. Facilities include showers and a toilet. The cost is €15 for two sunbeds and an umbrella. However, the sunbeds are placed quite close together. Not ideal for snorkeling.

Avithos Beach in Kefalonia is, without a doubt, a five-star slice of paradise! From the moment you step onto its golden, soft sand, you'll be captivated by the sheer beauty and tranquillity. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters are simply inviting, perfect for a refreshing swim. What truly sets Avithos apart is its gentle, shallow slope, making it ideal for families with children to splash and play safely. Even if you're not travelling with little ones, the calm waters are incredibly relaxing. The beach itself is wonderfully organized, yet manages to retain a natural, unspoiled charm. You'll find plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas for ultimate comfort, along with convenient showers. There are also two fantastic tavernas right on the beach, serving up delicious fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes, perfect for a leisurely lunch with a breathtaking sea view. One of the most enchanting aspects of Avithos is the stunning natural backdrop of lush green hills and the mesmerizing view of the islet of Dias with its charming church. Keep an eye out for the protected turtle nests on the quieter eastern side – a truly special experience if you're lucky enough to witness the hatchlings!

I can't say I'm impressed. To get there you travel via a gravel road which is quite bad and when we reach to the destination we only saw huge rocks and the whole beach had a 35+ degree decline to the sea, it was rocky all over the place. It's nice to watch but swim and enjoy the sea? Well not so much. Seeing reviews from other people like a month ago and it seems like a different beach but mountains, trees and all are the same. The only good thing as I said was the scenery and that's about it. Edit: I ask a local friend and told me during September having big rocks is kind of normal, still even without rocks for swimming there are far better choices that the island has to offer.

The beach is beautiful, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Be sure to bring water shoes. The beach is sandy, but the sea is pebbly. It's safe for young children; even if they venture out a bit, the water will still be shallow. The water is murky (110-120 cm), so you don't need a snorkel. I recommend not wearing jewelry because of the murky water. The front row of sunbeds costs 35 euros, and the back row costs 20 euros. There's a space to protect the loggerhead sea turtle eggs.

Visited mid August in the afternoon. Very crowded parking on the road and pretty full parking of the 2 tavern there. Beach was nice, but not sure if indeed worth as blue flag. Anyway, we like more secluded beaches, so we went farther than the umbrellas and chairs and founded a nice place to stay on the sand. Nice sand, sand in the water, nice, clear waters. Nice view to the little islet of Zeus. It happened for us to get there on a windy day and was almost impossible to relax, we had to chase our things on the beach :). Also very hard to turn the car on the road while leaving.

We visited on Sunday 18th June and sat on the main beach which was fairly crowded but we managed to find a quiet section on the main beach to the left as you face the sea. It’s lovely here with shallow and warm water. There’s also a life guard on duty on the main beach and refreshments if you need it. Video is of the main beach. On both the far left of the beach and on the far right behind 2 equally huge rocks are a section for naturists. On the left you have to walk into the sea but only to knee height to access the beach however this makes it very private and I only saw one naturist couple on this beach. On the right you have to walk across some low rocks onto a second lovely sandy beach to go past the very large rock to the naturist area and because you don’t need to get your feet wet to access this beach I saw quite a few naturist couples on this beach. Towards the end of the day naturists were using both middle and far right beach. Still photos are of the naturist area to the left of the beach. The sea is lovely turquoise colour. Lovely looking taverna just set back from the beach. I would definitely go back to this beach but I would use the beach to the right as you face the sea because it was more accessible and flatter.

My favorite place to have everything at fingertips, clean beach, nice water, not crowded, you have a small bar that opens around 09:30/ 10:00 for coffee, refreshments etc, restaurant amazing place to eat, not expensive, but everything is very affordable and tasty 😋. About the restaurant you’ll find my comment there 😎 Have fun 🤩!

A truly beautiful spot by the sea, with a stunning view and a charming old windmill that gives the place a unique touch. The food was delicious and worth the wait, even if service was a bit slow. The staff was very polite and even let enjoy my meal on the lounge sofas, which made the experience more relaxed and enjoyable. The only real disappointment was the party that had been announced for 1 AM, also promoted on social media — unfortunately, it never happened and there was no explanation. Still, the atmosphere and the quality of the food made up for it.

The negative reviews are, in my opinion, unfair. We ate dinner one evening here to watch the sun go down. It wasn't busy at all, so the atmosphere was maybe a little subdued. No wait for a table and we seated right by the open gkass doors overlooking the sea. The service was good, polite, attentive but not "in your face". All portions were a good size, the arincini with roquefort cheese in " angel hair" fine pasta strands partially so. For mains, rolled chicken with shrimp and the pork tenderloin. Both well presented and cooked just right. No deserts as we were full, but the coffee was good. Wine reasonably priced for the type of establishment it is aiming to be. It's a drive or taxi out from Argostoli but easy enough to find. Overall, it was a good dining experience, not the cheapest in Argostoli, but if you just want your standard Greek fayre, it's not for you.

the place is nice, on the water, cool athmosphere, food is also not bad, a little overpriced due to the location. however the service could really use some improvement, as the waiters and the staff are not the happiest people on the planet. plates were not descrived and badly explained in english. if you want to treat yourself do, but dont get too large expectations on the service, come for the food not for the service.

We were a group of 13 and waited over two hours before any food arrived. When my tuna finally came, it was completely raw — and not in a good “sushi” way, just undercooked and inedible. When I politely mentioned it to the waiter, his response was rude, dismissive, and downright unpleasant. Between the endless wait, poorly prepared food, and hostile service, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I would strongly advise avoiding this place at all costs.

This is a very wonderful place, very beautiful officiants and very delishes food and meals! All respects for you, orthodox brothers!

We wanted some cocktails but they were so small and didn’t taste good, the personal was so unfriendly and it was too expensive

Nice ambient by the beach, prices are a bit higher, but you'll enjoy the view. Staff is very slow so don't hurry 👌
