Argostolion

Argostoli, also known as Argostolion, is a captivating town and municipality on Kefalonia Island in the Ionian Islands, Greece. Situated on the western side of Kefalonia, Argostoli overlooks the beautiful Koutavos Lagoon and natural harbor. The town has served as the capital and administrative center of Kefalonia since 1757, following a population shift from the old capital of Agios Georgios (also known as Kastro). This shift aimed to capitalize on the trading opportunities provided by the sheltered bay. Argostoli's strategic location subsequently led to its development as one of the busiest ports in Greece, fostering prosperity and growth.
