It is difficult to believe that Lixouri once had pretensions to being Kefalonia's capital, being isolated on its own peninsula, and lacking the natural harbour enjoyed by Argostoli, one wonders what it had going for it.

Having said that, it is a nice enough town with a pleasant square facing the (man-made) harbour, where you can enjoy a beer or two as the world goes by, and with a decent beach within a couple of kilometres, it offers a good compromise of facilities for day and evening.
