Vacation9 Posted July 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi - Would appreciate your advice as we finalize plans in Argostoli (group of 6 including kids). We have a packed cruise in July (all day shore excursions in 4 other ports) and would like to have a more leisurely day in Argostoli. We are planning to go to Makris Gialos for a few hours and then stroll through the town right near the port in the afternoon. If you have spent time right near port, can you offer advice on walking around? I know there are other sights in Kefalonia, but I think we will need one day of downtime (not in a taxi/tour bus). In your opinion, is this a nice way to spend the day? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted July 5, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Yes, it's a very nice way to spend a day, particularly with kids. Makris Gialos is a lovely sandy beach with facilities. The town itself doesn't have any outstanding buildings but is pleasant enough to wander round and has many nice shops and bars/restaurants. Make sure you wander along the water's edge where you are almost sure to see turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted July 5, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Agree, if you turn left at the dock and walk along the waters edge you will come to a bridge and will see the turtles in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee got off relatively early and arrived at the beach area by 10am and think by 12 many of the best spots were taken ( think it was 10 euros for a umbrella and pair of lounge chairs ), though as they filled up they started putting more chairs/umbrellas up. Lots of taxis were lined up to take us home, we worried a bit at drop off that their might not be taxi's but when we left there were many. We then had the taxi drop us of at the main square for a leisure meal and some shopping. I expect with each coming week expect temperatures to continue to rise, so a day at the beach is a good break, LOL Edited July 5, 2019 by chipmaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
