Map & location
Argostoli, Kefalonia, Greece
Set along Argostoli’s sheltered bay, Kefalonia Grand Hotel enjoys one of the town’s most coveted addresses: right on the palm-lined seafront promenade. Step out to watch the fishing boats come and go, keep an eye out for loggerhead turtles around the harbour, or wander a couple of streets inland to find wine bars, bakeries and stylish boutiques.
The feel here is more Mediterranean city-break than sleepy island village – ideal if you like to eat somewhere different every night, sip cocktails with a view and still have Kefalonia’s beaches within easy reach by taxi or hire car.

- • Argostoli resort centre immediate surroundings
- • Harbourfront tavernas, cafés & bars within a few minutes’ walk
- • Nearest organised beaches (e.g. Lassi area) short taxi ride
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Kefalonia Grand Hotel does not have its own swimming pool – instead, it leans into its urban‑by‑the‑sea setting. Your “pool” is the island itself: spend the day exploring nearby beaches such as Makris Gialos and Platis Gialos (reached easily by taxi or hire car), or join a boat trip from Argostoli harbour to discover hidden coves and swim spots.
The waterfront promenade just outside the hotel is perfect for morning walks and golden‑hour strolls, with benches dotted along the bay where you can stop and soak up the views.
Spa, sports & wellness
This is a low‑key, design‑focused hotel rather than a full‑scale resort, so facilities are curated rather than extensive. Expect:
• Stylish lounge and lobby areas for relaxing with a drink or a book
• Reception with concierge-style assistance and luggage storage
• Access to English‑language newspapers (local charge may apply)
There is no on-site gym, spa or organised sports programme, but the central location means you are well placed for coastal walks, harbourfront jogging routes and easy access to island excursions, hiking trails and water‑based activities run by local providers.
Activities
While there is no structured animation team, Kefalonia Grand Hotel’s location opens up a host of independent activities:
• Stroll the harbourfront promenade and spot turtles around the fishing boats
• Enjoy café-hopping and wine tasting in Argostoli’s bars and bistros
• Use the hotel as a stylish base for island road trips to Myrtos Beach, Assos and Fiskardo
• Join boat excursions, snorkelling trips or sea‑cave visits booked locally
• Experience Argostoli’s relaxed nightlife, from cocktail bars to late‑night cafés

Food & drink

Alongside it, the Kefalonia Grand Café Bar pours quality Greek coffee, local wines and premium spirits from late morning until around midnight, making it a sophisticated spot for people‑watching on the promenade before or after dinner.
