Lixouri is the second largest city of Kefalonia situated on the Paliki peninsula. The peninsula forms a long and narrow bay that includes the capital city Argostoli. The edge of the bay is a hotspot for exotic beaches and has a fair share of tall cliffs. Lixouri and the Paliki peninsula were responsible for connecting towns together and forming a landscape that was ideal for growing crops and forming prosperous civilizations. On the western edge of the town, you will find the Lakovatios library which has a rich collection of 25,000 books and is home to many rare publications. It also used to be a gathering place to discuss ideas and host local cultural events. Adding to its classical architecture and nicely decorated squares, Lixouri has incorporated new businesses and well-constructed streets filled with restaurants and cafes. Tourists will have no problem finding accommodation and the locals will offer their best services so that guests have a top vacation in Kefalonia. During the months of August or September, do not miss the chance to join a local folklore festival. You will dance, drink, and eat with the locals and your company for the perfect summer evening!

Once you have taken in the characteristics and quirks all around Lixouri, it is time for you to head to the port and enjoy a trip around the coast with our private yacht. Xi beach is among the most famous beaches in the south, busting with tourists. It has shallow waters and red-tinted sand. Further south, you will find Vardiani, an ideal habitat for sea turtles. Fteri Beach and Myrto Beach are also great choices down the coast. Petani Beach and Platia further south are almost impossible to reach without a yacht excursion in Lixouri. This is why they are so appealing, as you will have a forgotten paradise all to yourself. 

Besides its long-south-facing beaches, you can rent a yacht in Lixouri and explore Argostoli, the capital city of Kefalonia. This town is equally charming and picturesque, with several beaches that have a characteristic Ionian vibe. Here you will find Lepada and Kounopetra beaches, which have impressive rocks that are great for those seeking a snorkeling experience in privacy. Lixouri overlooks the Ionian Sea, which means you can always plan a longer yacht rental trip with your family and friends.
