Argostoli offers a wide range of accommodation options within easy reach of the workshop venue and the town’s waterfront, restaurants, and transport links. Whether you prefer a central hotel with walkable access to everything or a quieter seaside stay, you will find choices that match different budgets and travel styles.
Recommended Areas to Stay
Argostoli Town Centre
Ideal for first-time visitors and anyone who wants to be able to walk to the workshop venue, restaurants, cafés, and evening social activities. Expect the widest choice of hotels and airbnbs, plus convenient access to taxis and local buses.
Lassi (short driving distance from Argostoli)
A popular coastal area with resorts and hotels near beaches and seaside bars. Well suited for those who want a more "holiday” feel while remaining relatively close to the workshop venue.
Svoronata / Ammes / Minies (near the airport, coastal)
Typically quieter, with villa-style accommodation and smaller properties. Good for families, and for travelers prioritizing beach time and long stays.
What to Book, How, and When
We recommend comparing availability and pricing across major booking platforms and reserving independently. In many cases, you may secure a better rate or more flexible terms by contacting the property directly, especially for longer stays or group bookings.
To ensure the best selection—particularly in central Argostoli—book early if you have specific preferences such as room type, balcony/sea view, or flexible cancellation conditions.
For extended visits or small groups, serviced apartments and villas can offer strong value and added practicality, including kitchen facilities, laundry access, and separate work space.
Practical Guidance
Getting to the venue: Most accommodation in central Argostoli is reachable on foot or by a short taxi ride. From Lassi and nearby coastal areas, expect a brief drive; local taxis are available.
Accessibility needs: If you require step-free access, elevator availability, or other accessibility features, we recommend confirming directly with the property before booking.
Work-friendly stays: If you will be working during your visit, look for properties that advertise reliable Wi-Fi and a desk/workspace, and consider quieter locations slightly outside the busiest waterfront streets.
Car rental: If you plan to explore the island (beaches, villages, day trips), consider renting a car — availability sometimes can be limited during busy periods. Choose accommodation with nearby parking (or on-site parking where offered), and confirm pick-up/drop-off options (airport vs. Argostoli) before booking.
