Grafozz, thanks for up to date information about Argostoli marina. I loved the town, a fine place to pass some time. Just to clear up a couple of points about the marina:
The original framework of the marina was built some time before 1999. Since then, until 2006, yachts were warned by the port police not to use the area for mooring, because the surge during the summer northerlies was dangerous. In spite of this, a few locals used one corner of the harbour, moored well off the quay.
From what you say, something is changing. You mention a new quay being built. Is this designed to shelter the marina, or the main port? I guess that so far, during your stay, either they've filled in the north quay, or sheltered it, or you haven't had any big northerlies, or else you're moored well off the hardware! Have they filled in the northern pier to make it a solid quay? Any sign that they're bringing it into commission? electrics or water? I'd very much appreciate feedback to correct my site . . .

Many thanks. I'll watch out for that one! It would be a useful addition for cruising that coast.

the new marina is actually at pelaghia , svoronata is 300 ft above sea level ... its almost finished and it has electric and water terminals -just like english marinas ! but i have,nt seen it for 2 weeks , i,ll pop down and have a look in the next few days . it was built in a very sheltered place from north and west , now with a rock wall protecting it from the south .it is always calm inside it has been dredged too .

Does that mean this new "marina" is just off the southern tip of Kefalonia's only airport runway?

Rees Id recommend Argostoli for the WiFi (and its not really in the flight path !) If you cant find the Travel Agent I mentioned, ask this chap - he can usually be found hanging around the fish quay !

If it's the turtle that makes scheduled appearances at one of the local quayside tavernas around 7pm every evening, it's a "she", I'm reliably informed, and she's around 25 years old!
