A seaside town on the island of Kefalonia (also know as Cephalonia), Argostoli remains a work-in-progress since its near total destruction in a 1953 earthquake. It is still trying its best at becoming a resort destination, but it has a very long way to go to compete with the likes of Mykonos and Santorini. The island has had a tumultuous history: ruled by Norman kings from Sicily, Italian overlords, Turks, Venetians, and even the British for a short time. The town does have an attractive promenade; but the overall appearance of the port might conjure up memories of some backwater Caribbean spots in the minds of some travelers.
