We caught the bus from Sami to Argostoli to do some shopping.
Argostoli is the main town on the island and has many shops and restaurants.

Argostoli Laundry (Laundry)
Kafeneion on the waterfront takes in laundry
I walked all over town looking for a self service laundry, without success. Up the hill toward Lassi I found one, but it had been closed for 2 years. The lady in the mini market told me that there was one near the hospital, but it sounded quite a long way to walk. There is a drycleaner, next to the theatre, but looking through the window on Sunday, it did not appear to do laundry, only dry cleaning.
I finally stopped at Kafeneion on the waterfront for a beer and asked Kelly. She said there was a laundry place that charged €12 per load, but that she took in laundry at €12.50 per load.
I lugged my heavy sailbag full of laundry across the road and she estimated 4 loads at €50. We had all our sheets and towels to do after a month of guests onboard.
The laundry was ready the next day, and nicely folded. Kelly said that it should have been 5 loads, but she charged me the agreed upon €50. More than we could afford, but worth the money.
