About Port of Argostólion

Also known as: Ionian Islands Ferry Port, Ionian Islands Harbour

Argostólion is a port located on the island of Kefalonia, Greece. It serves as a harbor for various vessel types and is equipped with tug services. The port's sheltered bay historically facilitated trading opportunities.

Background
Argostoli is a town and a municipality on the island of Kefalonia, Ionian Islands, Greece. Since the 2019 local government reform it is one of the three municipalities on the island. It has been the capital and administrative centre of Kefalonia since 1757, following a population shift down from the old capital of Agios Georgios, also known as Kastro, to take advantage of the trading opportunities provided by the sheltered bay upon which Argostoli sits.
