Car Hire Lassi Argostoli

Mini Guide to Lassi

Who Goes to Lassi?
You’re most likely to have headed for the capital Argostoli and found yourself in the little settlement of Lassi, either staying there in quaint guesthouses and small hotels or wandering through the pretty streets. Because of the 1953 earthquake, there’s little or nothing of antiquity but the reconstruction has still left it with some attractive buildings. Lassi is more of a place to stay then get out around and about so hiring a car from Lassi, if you haven’t collected one from the airport, is a good idea.



How do I get There?     
Argostoli and Lassi are easily reached from all over Europe with flights to Kefalonia Airport. The UK is particularly well served and has scheduled budget flights from Gatwick with easyJet and many seasonal tour operator charters from airports all around the UK. The airport is under twenty minutes from Lassi and found on the road into Argostoli. There are local buses which take you into the centre of Argostoli but for convenience, a hire car is often a better way of getting between the two if you don’t have a tour operator transfer arranged.



What is There to do in Lassi?
There’s not a lot really to do apart from seeking out the quiet bars and restaurants. Most take the opportunity to head out and explore the island, tracking down the scenery of the film ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. There are plentiful beaches nearby and beautiful scenery which is best toured in a hire car. Argostoli is worth a few hours of your time with the town museum which has a poignant exhibit on the 1953 earthquake.
