The red, fine sands of Lepeda Beach, perhaps the best in the resort area, are 2km away from Lixouri Centre. The beach is clean and shallow waters make it excellent for families. Those looking to explore the peninsula will find a number of attractive beaches, some offering a limited range of water sports in high season.

Eating out

The tavernas and restaurants cater for all tastes; Greek and Italian are particularly recommended. Why not accompany your meal with some locally produced village wine straight from the barrel served in a traditional tin carafe?

In high season, the two discos just outside of the town are a big hit with locals! While in Lixouri there are a handful of tavernas and bouzouki clubs providing a perfect setting for a relaxing evening.

Shopping

There are a handful of local boutiques and shoe shops, but the more serious shopper should head to nearby Argostoli.
