This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΟ Δήμος Αργοστολίου είναι ένας πολύ ζωντανός τόπος με χαρακτήρα τουρισμού, εστίασης και κατασκευών, όπου ξεχωρίζουν τα καταλύματα, οι ενοικιάσεις αυτοκινήτων και σκαφών και οι οικοδομικές εργασίες, ενώ κρεοπωλεία, μανάβικα και ιχθυοπωλεία είναι λιγότερα απ' ό,τι συνήθως στη χώρα. Αξίζει μια πιο προσεκτική ματιά στις σιδηροκατασκευές, τον πιο κινητικό κλάδο, σε μια περιοχή με πολύ υψηλή σεισμική επικινδυνότητα.
