An ABSOLUTE must in Argostoli!! - What an incredible experience and way to visit and learn about Argostoli. Our guide (Albert) was friendly, funny and very informative - we stopped at many places to hear history, he always found a spot in the shade and allowed time for pictures along the way. Be ready to eat and enjoy a leisurely ride! We went to a local bakery and met the family who baked and ran the shop, then to the candy store to taste nougat and traditional Greek treats, then to the local market where we shared fresh tomatoes and cucumbers that were AMAZING. from there we stopped at a local tavern for some local wine and an incredible lunch including lamb on a bed of orzo, lemon chicken, green beans, artichokes and a few other delicious items. From there we rode to beautiful park and garden next to the square and enjoyed some gelato from a local store. Our last stop was to the Rivers edge to see if we’d luck out and see any turtles - and we did! We rode back to the Kings Hotel (where the bike tour was located) and took some photos and said our goodbyes. It was such a lovely tour and day.

Argostoli Must Do - I had pleasure of being the first on their new Argostoli Taste & Walk tour, enjoyable 4-5 km walk with stops to sample bougatsa, a demonstration of how to make mandalas, sampled cucumber and fresh oranges at the farmers market, local lunch and even some gelato! Highly recommend this tour, either walking or biking version.
