Argostoli is the capital of the western Greek island of Kefalonia which has become one of the country's busiest ports thanks to the sheltered bay in which its harbour is located.

There are no shortage of options for car rental in Kefalonia - Argostoli. Europcar and Express offices are located in Argostoli, along with at least half a dozen local companies from which visitors may select cheap car hire in Kefalonia - Argostoli.

Originally built in 1757 and almost completely rebuilt after a 1953 earthquake, Argostoli may be a modern city by Greek standards, but its attractions rival those found in more famous Greek towns. Argostoli is now the largest municipality in any of the Ionian Islands.

Argostoli's main square known as Plateia Valianou, where the muncipality's town hall and government house are situated, is the most ideal location to begin exploring the town. Argostoli is home to folklore and archaeological museums, the impressive Church of Agios Spyridon, and the Kephalos Theatre.

At the end of Argostoli's bay lies the Koutavos Lagoon, a designated nature reserve for loggerhead turtles. The wooden bridge across the lagoon is closed to car traffic, but the coastal road lined with palm trees is a relaxing drive with car rental in Kefalonia - Argostoli. The best view of Argostoli can be seen from Pharaoh Hill.
