The island of Cephalonia was our favorite place on our cruise.

We picked up a taxi at the Argostoli cruise port for 15 euros to take us to the beach in Lassi at Hotel Mediterranee. We paid 8 euros for 2 very comfortable beach chairs and a large umbrella. You can sit in shade or sun. Beach is not crowded. There is a small restaurant with inexpensive excellent food there. Also shower, changing room, bathroom, wifi on beach. Beach is sandy and calm water. We met people who come there every year for vacation. The hotel called a cab to bring us back and we paid only 6 euros to return. It's maybe 15 min from port.

Shops close in the afternoon for a couple of hours. So when we came back we walked around a bit, then returned to ship for a thoroughly lovely day.

if you decide to stay in Argostoli you can take the local bus (very cheap) to go to the nearest beaches Makris or Platis Gialos with beach bars and water sports. I hoped I helped you with this info about my island and I wish you a nice cruise! Everything else you need, you can ask me!

Hello SummerinKefalonia,

Thank you for all your info.

You mentioned the bus to Platis Gialos. Do you have further info on the bus number, fare and where to get it? We will be in Argostoli in a couple of weeks.
