Rules vary across Cephalonia. I don't have reliable, current data on short-term rental regulations or enforcement reality for Argostoli, Fiskardo, and Sami (municipalities in Kefalonia, Greece). Greek STR regulations changed significantly in recent years with national registration requirements, but local enforcement varies widely by municipality and is often inconsistent. Without verified information on actual enforcement practices in these specific towns, I cannot accurately classify them or provide the character-limited summaries you've requested. I recommend contacting local municipal offices directly or consulting current Greek STR platforms for accurate requirements. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
