Argostoli Town is capital of the island of Kefalonia, and it’s a great place to go for a day trip. If you’re staying in Lassi, then you’re only 3km away from bustling Argostoli old town. This authentic Greek town is brimming with pretty squares and courtyards, and there’s a charming marina, too. Down on the waterfront, you can wonder down the palm tree-lined promenade in the sunshine.

From here, you’ll be able to spot the famous Drapano Bridge. If you want to indulge in a spot of retail therapy, then Argostoli old town is well worth a visit; it’s one of best shopping destinations anywhere on the island. It’s also one of Kefalonia’s livelier nightlife destinations, with a selection of laid-back bars and clubs on offers.

For culture lovers, it’s well worth popping the International Music Festival of Argostoli in your diary. It’s held annually, across a number of venues at the end of August. As for the rest of the year, you’ll be able to spot the 19th century Drapano Bridge from the promenade; this impressive construction measures 950m and spans the entire length of the bay.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the area’s rich history, you’ll find a couple of archaeological museums that are well worth the visit. And when you’ve finished, you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the sunshine over in the main square.
