Where is the Argostoli cruise port?
Ships dock at Bastouni, the cruise jetty built in 2007–2010 on Argostoli's waterfront, with a 171 m covered walkway and a small terminal building. It has one berth; if a second ship calls, it anchors in the bay and tenders passengers to the old harbour in the centre. From either landing the waterfront cafes are a few minutes away, and Vallianou Square and the Lithostroto shopping street are a short walk.

About Argostoli
Argostoli is the capital of Kefalonia, the largest of Greece's Ionian Islands, on a sheltered bay on the island's southwest coast that opens into the Koutavos Lagoon. Rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake, the town has a palm-lined waterfront, the busy Vallianou Square and the pedestrian Lithostroto shopping street, and loggerhead turtles are often seen near the harbour. The long stone De Bosset Bridge crosses the lagoon.
Beyond town, Kefalonia is known for Melissani Cave's sunlit underground lake, Drogarati Cave, and Myrtos Beach below white cliffs, made famous by the film Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Cruise ships dock at the Bastouni jetty on the town's waterfront, or tender when a second ship calls.
