Before visiting the memorial I recommend reading “Lost Sons of the Mediterranean. Kefalonia - September 1943 by Pietro Giovanni Liuzzi I knew of the massacre of the soldiers from the Acqui Division from reading the book and watching the film, Captain Correlies Mandolin. The memorial is about 15 minutes walk out of Argostoli it is very clean well maintained. There is also a small shrine to the right of the memorial dedicated to Captain Arpala and his men. With the ruins of a building next to it which Im led to believe was a chapel. If you keep walking down the hill at the T junction which heads towards Lassi there is a pit and memorial to 136 soldiers shot and thrown into the pit. The pit I found the saddest knowing what happened there in 1943

We took a walk across the bridge and admired the lovely views. The bridge is just about at sea level, so you feel like you're walking right on the water over the bay of Argostoli.
4. Argostoli Harbour

Argostoli Harbour is a lovely place to amble around at any time. Numerous harbourside cafes and restaurants, lovely fruit markets and fresh fish being sold from the boats tied alongside in the morning. Look out for the loggerhead turtles surrounding the boats in the morning! Recommend visitors cross the stone bridge across to Drapano and also take the ferry over to the quiet town of Lixouri where you can enjoy a meal and a coffee and watch the world go by. Only €2-80 each way for passengers. Beautiful place.
