Traditional water mill at the sinkholes on Lassi area of Kefalonia island in Greece


Argostoli is a town and a former municipality on the island of Kefalonia, Ionian Islands, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Kefalonia, of which it is a municipal unit.[1] It has been the capital and administrative centre of Kefalonia since 1757, following a population shift down from the old capital of Agios Georgios (also known as Kastro) to take advantage of the trading opportunities provided by the sheltered bay upon which Argostoli sits. Argostoli developed in to one of the busiest ports in Greece, leading to prosperity and growth. The 2001 census recorded a population of 12,589 in the Argostoli municipal unit. Its largest towns are Argostóli (pop. 9,037), Dilináta (739), Farakláta (411), and Kardakáta (362). At Lassi area there are traditional watermills as the specific one shoen on this image. Also there are modern lounge bars by the sea and near the sinkholes
