Hier auf Kefalonia, der größten und schönsten Ionischen Insel gehen die Uhren entspannt anders. Genießen Sie einen schönen Spaziergang entlang der mit Oleander und Palmen gesäumten Uferpromenade, die parallel zum Hafenkai verläuft. Immer wieder wurde Argostoli von Erdbeben erschüttert, aber konnte sein ursprüngliches Stadtbild weitestgehend erhalten. So können Sie sich an einem Bummel durch die Altstadt erfreuen und Sehenswürdigkeiten wie das wieder aufgebaute Kloster Agios Gerasimos oder die mit vielen Fresken geschmückte Hauptkirche erkunden. Auch die Umgebung rund um Argostoli mit ihren Zypressen-, Oliven- und Pinienhainen lädt zum Entdecken ein. Sei es am Strand von Myrtos, am Hafen des verschlafenen Fischerdörfchens Agia Efimia oder in der bizarren Welt der Melissani- oder Drogarati-Höhle – Sie werden begeistert sein.
