Lixouri is the second Largest town of Cephalonia and it’s a scenic area with a big square by the harbor. Beyond the choices of cafeterias and restaurants, Lixouri is characterized for the enmity that prevails among Lixouri’s and Argostoli’s inhabitants, which most of the time is treated with humor.

One of the most important libraries of Cephalonia is the Iakovatios Library in Lixouri as it hosts thousands of book titles that date back from the early 16th century. There are also objects the museum exhibits from about the same period. The library numbers up to 30.000 books and magazines, many of which are rare and satisfy a wide range of interests. The library’s collection is constantly renewed with relevant modern stock.

Xi is one of the most beautiful and well-known beaches of the island. The feature of that beach is the sand’s reddish color. Also, the day display in the beach offers the opportunity for a free spa.
