Visiting Lixouri in Kefalonia?

[cubrinj]

I am planing to go to Kefalonia and want to stay in a town that has a lot going on but maybe isn't so big and overwhelming. I researched and thought maybe Lixouri was a candidate?

This will be my first time on Kefalonia and I am interested in any tips you can give, such as:

• What are the must-see attractions in and around Lixouri?
• Can you suggest any hidden gems that a tourist might typically overlook?
• What's the best way to get around the town and to nearby sites?
• Any advice on local dining spots or unforgettable culinary experiences?
• I'm also interested in outdoor activities — are there any particular hikes or natural wonders not to be missed?
• Lastly, if you have any tips on cultural etiquette or local customs, I’d love to hear about them!

Thank you!
