Lixouri Things to Do

For those who adore the simplicity of sand, sea and sun, then the unpretentious and uncrowded beaches close to Lixouri are ideal. At Lepeda beach there is soft golden sand, shallow water (perfect safe swimming conditions for kids) and even a monastery. With the 20-mile long beach at Xi (famous for its red sand) close-by, and the stunning sunsets at secluded Petani Beach, there is something for all traditional beach-lovers to enjoy.

 

Platia Petritsi, the main square in Lixouri, is best described as the resort’s ‘beating heart’. A popular meeting place for both tourists and local people, Platia Petritsi is a social hub lined with a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a relaxing drink, or even share a romantic dinner-for-two.

 

The Lixouri peninsula is an abundant agricultural area. Exploring the olive groves, orchards and vineyards around Lixouri could all be part of your enjoyable holiday break.

 

After another scorching day at Lepeda beach, a pleasant evening at a friendly Greek taverna or bouzouki club in Lixouri could be a good idea. And if you fancy a dance, there are a couple of discos out of town.

 

If you feel like a break from resort-orientated holiday activities and a journey back in time sounds good, then visits to local ancient sites around Lixouri will provide you with exactly what you need. How about a leisurely walk through an unspoilt local village? Or, for budding theologians, discovering isolated monasteries could make for an interesting experience. Best of all, many history-loving tourists report, are the ruins of the ancient city of Pali at Palaeokastro, and the Lakovatios Library which has an impressive historical book collection.
