Argostoli, Port town in Kefalonia, Greece.
Located on a sheltered peninsula, Argostoli extends along a waterfront with a grid pattern layout and hosts numerous shops and restaurants.
After becoming the capital of Kefalonia in 1757, Argostoli endured a devastating earthquake in 1953 that destroyed most of its Venetian architecture.
Musicians perform kantades, traditional songs with guitar and mandolin accompaniment, while walking through the streets during summer evenings.
The Lithostroto pedestrian shopping street contains boutiques and cafes, connecting directly to the main square Plateia Valianou.
At Katovothres, seawater flows underground through geological formations and resurfaces in Sami, traveling through the island for two weeks.
