Lixouri

Lixouri occupies the eastern shore of the Paliki Peninsula on Cephalonia, facing the Bay of Argostoli in Greece’s Ionian Islands. The town is linked with Argostoli across the bay by regular ferry routes, while roads lead through Paliki’s olive groves and low limestone terrain to beaches on the Ionian Sea. Lixouri was heavily damaged in the 1953 Ionian earthquake and rebuilt, giving its waterfront and central squares a predominantly modern character. It is also the birthplace of Andreas Laskaratos, the 19th-century Greek satirist whose social commentary remains part of Kefalonian letters.
