Argostoli is a city on the island of Kefalonia and the capital of the Municipality of Argostoli. It has been the capital and center of activity of the island since 1757, when there was a significant population movement from the old capital, Agios Georgios, in order to exploit the commercial potential of the bay of the region. At the 2011 census, it had 9,748 inhabitants.
It is also the capital of the Kranaia province, which includes the southern and southwestern parts of the island. It is also the largest city on the island and is connected by ferry to Lixouri, which is the second largest city on the island. The Gulf of Argostoli that it surrounds is a particularly safe harbor. The city has a rich library, the Korgialenio.

It seems that from about 1600 the area near Koutavos began to be settled, especially from the side that is today the area of Gefyra and Sisiotissa. The solution for a new city that has the strongest requirements with its first safe port that will emerge later, when in 1757 it will be decided to transfer the capital from the Castle of Agios Georgios near Koutavos, where there was a settlement mostly of fishermen, a port of the Castle called Tener Cefaloni S. Previously, the island's port was there in Koutavos, the Porto de la Zephalonia or Porto de l'Arsenal, in the cove. From 1757 onwards, Argostoli began to grow gradually. When the Ionian Islands passed to the English, around 1810, Kefalonia like the other Ionian Islands had its own English governor. One of them was De Bosse, who did many works in Argostoli and was the creator of the Argostoli bridge. This bridge, about one kilometer long, connected Argostoli with the opposite side of the Gulf of Argostoli. The old town of Argostoli was very picturesque than the current one, since it contained many large buildings with Italian influences in their architecture. The pre-earthquake city was characterized by many imposing mansions and palaces, with Italian influences in the architecture of its houses with Renaissance and Baroque elements. Argostoli was also the second city in Greece to be electrified. One of the "mysteries" of Argostoli is the Katavothres, a rare geological phenomenon. One of the main points of Argostoli is the Lighthouse or otherwise the Lighthouse of Saints Theodoros. It is located a little outside Argostoli and is on an artificial peninsula. It was built in 1928, during the time of Charles Napier. In 1964 it was rebuilt by the Kefalonian architect Takis Pavlatos, after the destruction it suffered from the earthquakes of 1953.
