__NOTOC__
'''Argostoli''' (Greek: Modern: Αργοστόλι, Ancient/Katharevousa: -ον, ''-on'') is the main town on the [[Greece|Greek]] island of [[Kefalonia]], and is the seat of the province and the capital of the prefecture. It is the port for several inter-island ferries. Its geographical location is in the southern part of the island and has been the capital in [[1797]], 70 years before becoming a part of Greece. Its neighboring communities are [[Lassi]] to the west. It sits on a peninsula that is covered with forest in the north and a hill with 24 m in elevation. Its postal code is 281 and the area code is [[Greece dialing code 26740|26740]].

Much of the town was destroyed in a major earthquake in [[1953]], but locals assure us that any new building must be made with steel-reinforced concrete to obviate any future risks.

If you are really lucky, you may see [[sea turtle]]s swimming off the port's fish quays, hoping to feed on rejected fish. The sea inlet is also home to schools of dolphins. NE of Argostoli is a protected lagoon and the Drapano bridge crosses over.

The city has a few plateias, the Port of Argostoli which includes a small ferry to [[Lixouri]], hotels, and the [[Archaeological Museum of Argostoli]]. It also has an industrial area located approx. 1 km south.

The city has an airport located 10 km SE.
