Port information & tips for Argostoli (Kefalonia)
Argostoli is the charming capital of the Ionian island of Kefalonia and welcomes visitors with a picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and azure waters. The town captivates with its relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere and invites you to take strolls along the bustling waterfront promenade and through the elegant Lithostroto pedestrian zone. Special highlights in the immediate vicinity include the historic De Bosset Bridge, the longest stone bridge over the sea in the world, and the Koutavos Lagoon, where Caretta caretta sea turtles can regularly be observed. Cruise ships dock at the centrally located Argostoli Cruise Terminal, from which the vibrant city center with Vallianou Square is easily accessible in just a few minutes' walk thanks to excellent connections.
Argostoli on the Greek island of Kefalonia welcomes cruise ships directly at the central berth near the charming waterfront promenade, which allows direct access to the city center. Thanks to the short distances and the well-developed infrastructure, guests can reach the terminal easily from the airport or the island's ferry ports.
Airplane
Kefalonia International Airport (EFL) is located only about 9 kilometers south of Argostoli and is regularly served by direct flights or via Athens from the DACH region during the high season. From the arrival hall, you can reach the cruise terminal in about 15 to 20 minutes by taxi and also use the shuttle services often provided by the cruise lines for a smooth transfer.
Ferry & Car
Travelers with their own vehicle or from the Greek mainland use the comfortable ferry connections from Kyllini or Patras to the island ports of Poros and Sami. The onward journey to Argostoli takes place via well-developed country roads and offers easy arrival thanks to the clear signage as well as public parking options in the port area and the adjacent streets.
Pre-Cruise Hotel
Due to seasonally varying flight times, arriving a day before embarkation is recommended to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the island's capital in peace. Numerous hotels in Argostoli are within walking distance of the pier and allow for a stress-free start to the holiday directly on the azure sea on the morning of check-in.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will generally receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port accordingly and consider that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually about one hour before the scheduled departure.
The same applies during the journey: for shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and the notices on board, as docking and departure times can change at short notice.
