Today, Argostoli remains a large, modern town with avenues lined with palms, laurel and bougainvillea, masking monotonous building facades. Its main square, with its pastry shops and restaurants, is very lively in the evening. A stroll along the Dranapos Bridge, built in 1813 by the English to link the two sides of the wide bay, is a pleasant way to relax at dusk. In Argostoli, you can also discover the phenomenon of katavothres, water holes where the sea has penetrated and which communicate underground with Lake Melissani. Economically active all year round, it has the advantage of offering a wide range of hotels (affordable if not charming) in the off-season. It also occupies a prime position on the island, plunging into the Ionian Sea on one side and hemmed in by forests and hills on the other. It's a great base from which to explore the rest of the island, which is difficult to explore without a car..
