Shore Excursion: Walking Tour in Argostoli City

5 hours

Moderate

Uncover the soul of Kefalonia with a captivating 5-hour walking tour through Argostoli, the island’s charming and vibrant capital.
Led by a knowledgeable local guide, this immersive experience invites you to stroll through atmospheric streets, uncover hidden gems, and dive into the fascinating stories that have shaped the island’s identity.

Your journey begins with a visit to the Korgialenio Historical and Cultural Museum, where you’ll trace the island’s rich past from the 16th century to the dramatic events of 1953, when a powerful earthquake reshaped Kefalonia. The museum’s exhibits offer a rare glimpse into local traditions, daily life, and the island's enduring spirit.

Continue your adventure along the lively Lithostroto pedestrian street, lined with inviting local shops, fragrant bakeries, and quaint cafés. Soak in the aromas, shop for unique keepsakes, and don’t forget to snap a photo beneath the historic Bell Tower, one of the few surviving structures from before the quake.

As the tour unfolds, you'll arrive at the legendary De Bosset Bridge—the world’s longest stone bridge built over seawater. Standing since 1813, it offers not only remarkable engineering but also picturesque views of the bay and a chance to spot the island’s beloved Caretta caretta sea turtles swimming below.

To top off your experience, visit a cozy traditional seaside shop, where a passionate sommelier awaits to guide you through a delightful Kefalonian wine-tasting session. Learn about the island’s native grape varieties, the local winemaking process, and savor distinctive flavors like Robola and Mavrodaphne. It’s the perfect way to conclude your day—with a toast to the tastes, stories, and beauty of Kefalonia.
