Argos'toli, a seaport of the Ionian islands, capital of Cephalonia, is the seat of a Greek bishop, and has a good harbour. The 'sea-mills of Argostoli' are two holes in the rocky coast, into which the sea pours with a force sufficient to drive two mills, and disappears, to return, most likely, through brackish springs. Pop. 7871.
