Lixouri is on the peninsular opposite Argostoli and Lassi. With over 4000 Inhabitants it is the second largest town on the Island. Completely detroyed by the Earthquake in 1953 like it's neighbour Argostoli had to be rebuilt. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants to provide all you might need.

Lixouri is reached by road around the bay in approx 45mins, or principally by Ferry every half hour in summer season and every hour in low season. The Ferry is a basic car ferry with a small cafe aboard and open deck seating. For around only €1 you can cross one way as a foot passenger, in what has to be a very pleasant trip for the money, and short enough to keep children entertained.

There is a Square in Lixouri and it is surrounded on three sides by Cafes, bars and small tavernas. It is a short stroll from the promenade where the ferry arrives and you can sit with a coffee awaiting your return crossing in comfort.

Locality:

Lixouri is in west Kefalonia, on the east side of the Pali Peninsula (20 mls NW of Argostoli by road and 25 mls NW of the airport). It is facing east across the water, towards the main body of the island. It is accessed via the main road from Argostoli, which follows the coastline around the Gulf of Argostoli, or via car ferry from Argostoli port. The terrain is flat around the harbour area and slopes gently up to low, wooded hills.
