Petritsi Square and a walk through the center

Start from the central square and take your time along the nearby streets, among cafés, shops, and city façades. Allow about 45 minutes for the walk; a breakfast or coffee at the counter costs approximately 3–7 €.

The square is a good landmark to get your bearings before continuing on foot.

11:00

Iakovatios Library

Reach the historic library with a short walk from the center and admire the building and cultural spaces when accessible. Allow 30–45 minutes; admission or visits may depend on opening hours and ongoing events.

Check today’s opening hours: they may be reduced or variable.

12:00

Lixouri Port and waterfront

Continue on foot toward the port to see the ferry area and the movement of boats, then enjoy a short walk along the waterfront. The visit takes about 30–40 minutes and has no cost, aside from any refreshments.

If you are arriving from Argostoli by ferry, check the route schedule in advance and factor in possible waiting times.

12:45

Lunch in central Lixouri

Stop at a tavern in the center for a leisurely lunch: look for local dishes, seasonal vegetables, and fish, and ask the price of the catch before ordering. Expect around €15–30 per person, drinks excluded or included depending on the place.

In summer, it’s advisable to eat lunch early or book ahead at the most popular restaurants.

14:15

Lepeda Beach

Reach Lepeda by car or scooter in about 10–15 minutes from the center, or by taxi, and spend the afternoon swimming and relaxing on the beach. Plan for 1–1.5 hours; umbrellas and sun loungers, if available, may cost around €10–20 for a set.

Bring water and sunscreen: the availability of facilities and sea conditions vary depending on the season and the weather.

16:15

Xi Beach and a stop by the sea

From Lepeda, continue on to Xi, allowing about 15–20 minutes by car or scooter. The beach is known for its reddish sand and generally shallow waters near the shore; allow at least two hours to swim, walk along the coast, and relax.

The color of the sand may leave marks on fabrics: choose a towel and footwear you don’t mind getting dirty.

19:00

Sunset and dinner in the Xi area

Stay on the coast for the late-afternoon light and, if you find an open place, have dinner nearby before heading back to Lixouri. Budget around €20–35 per person for a simple dinner; in the low season, evening options may be limited, so plan your return and have an alternative in town.

Check taxi or return transport in advance: after sunset, rides may be less frequent.
