Kefalonia - Administration

Administration

Cephalonia is a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands region, and the only municipality of the regional unit. The seat of administration is Argostoli, the main town of the island. As a part of the 2011 Kallikratis government reform, the regional unit Kefallinia was created out of part of the former Kefalonia and Ithaca Prefecture. At the same reform, the current municipality Cephalonia was created out of the 8 former municipalities:

  • Argostoli the capital
  • Paliki peninsula with its main town Lixouri
  • Sami the third largest town and most important port
  • Erisos with the harbours of Fiscardo and Assos
  • Eleios-Pronnoi with the harbour of Poros and Skála
  • Leivathos the valley south of Argostoli
  • Omala the valley at the monastery of Saint Gerasimos
  • Pylaros with the harbour Agia Evfimia and the beach of Myrtos
