ARGOSTOLI (Town) KEFALLONIA
Argostoli, with a population of 8000 people, became Cephalonia’s
capital in 1757.
Even though many of the town’s imposing mansions were destroyed
during the 1953 earthquakes, the new town which was built kept the quaint, Ionian
style with well-laid out streets, spacious squares, many trees and alleys and
a very lively port.
In the centre of the city there are the Administrative House, the
Town Hall, the Archaeological
Museum, the Korgialenio
Popular Art Museum, the Korgialenios Library and the newly-built "Kefalos"
Theatre.
At the port, the visitors can see Nikos Kavadias’ bust gazing
to the endless sea. Kavadias was a poet who loved and wrote about the sea during
his whole life.
From the few works of the island’s British period which the
earthquakes didn’t destroy is Koutavos bridge, built in 1813, which connects
Argostoli with the opposite coast.
Walking along Lithostroto (stone-paved street), the town’s central
street, take a minute to visit Aghios Spiridonas’ church and Kambana square.
Reaching the street at the port, you will see the market full of fresh
fish and sweet-smelling fruit and vegetables. Further down many pastry shops and
restaurants invite you to taste the local dishes.
The people are hospitable, warm-hearted, easy-going and will not fail
to help you and make your stay a memorable experience.

FISKARDO (Village) KEFALLONIA
Fiscardo is situated in the most northern point of the island opposite
the island of Ithaka and is
famous for its traditional architecture and its cosmopolitan port.
It is one of the most important tourist and holiday destinations of
the island with soundly organised tourist background.
Many yachts arrive at Fiscardo's port where their owners most of the
times decide to stay for the rest of their holiday.
Something similar happened to crusader Robert Guiscard from whom Fiscardo
took its name, who arrived in 1085 in order to conquer the island, but finally
stayed and lived in Fiscardo for the rest of his life. Most of the mansions (stately
houses) one can see in Fiscardo belong to the Venetian architecture era.

LIXOURI (Small town) KEFALLONIA
Lixouri is the second largest town with a population of 3500 people,
according to the most recent census.
It is situated in Palliki
peninsula and there is regular ferry boat transport from Argostoli.
The visitor can also reach Lixouri driving around the big bay of Livadi.
Lixouri is divided in two parts by a stream and small bridges connect
the two banks. It is a modern town with big streets full of trees and spacious
squares.
At the town’s port, you can see Andreas Laskaratos’ statue.
Laskaratos was a satiric poet who came from Lixouri and lived in the 19th century.
Furthermore, liberal politicians’ busts, such as Typaldos-Iakovatos,
Pylarinos and Typaldos Kapeletos-Dotoratos can be seen around the town.
Distinguished benefactors like P. Vallianos, S. Petritsis, the Basias
brothers and others helped to reconstruct the town after the terrible earthquakes
in 1953.
The inhabitants of Lixouri, as all Cephalonians, are famous for their
love and talents in music, literature and art in general. In this frame we should
not fail to mention Pali’s Music School which was founded in 1836 and it
is one of the oldest and most important in Greece.
Lixouri is very famous for the rich cultural events.
Its Carnival is renowned for its sense of humour and satire and it
is the prevailing happening in winter.
The whole island participates in it and apart from its variety and
its humorous sense it also possesses a Dionysiac aspect.
It is regarded as one of the most successful provincial carnivals.
During the summer season, the Cultural
Centre of Lixouri Municipality in collaboration with other Municipalities
and authorities organises various cultural events.
Lixouri’s sights also include Laskaratos’ hill, Iakovatos
Library, the Archaeological Collection and numerous magnificent churches with
wooden carved icon screens.

LOURDATA (Village) KEFALLONIA
Tel: +30 26710 31425
The village of Lourdata is situated in a verdant, fertile region. The waters of
Enos and the protection afforded
by the mountain greatly heighten the fertility of the village gardens and orchards,
which go right down to the sea. The Cephalonians relish the fruit and vegetables
from the gardens of Lourdata, which are very tasty. The village's fine beach,
which is also large, every year attracts crowds of holidaymakers, Greek and non-Greek.
MARKOPOULO (Village) KEFALLONIA
Tel: +30 26710 81358
A village built on a rise with a superb panoramic view. Each year around mid-August
in Markopoulo the snakes of the Panagia make their appearance. These are small
harmless snakes which have the sign of the cross on their heads. On the day of
the festival of the Panagia the snakes go into the church and up onto the silver
icon of the Virgin. Is it a miracle or a way station for the snakes as they make
their way to some place warmer? According to contemporary reports, in 1953, the
year of the big earthquakes, the snakes did not make their appearance. It is characteristic
that the snakes of the Panagia disappear on 15th August after the liturgy or after
the church festival.
