부동산 — Phaedra
A modest 3-star hotel with a whitewashed facade and tiled courtyard, Phaedra sits a short walk from Lixouri’s main square. The lobby smells of lemon polish and sea air, with a small reception desk and a notice board for local ferry times. It’s clean, unpretentious, and fills a gap for budget-conscious travellers who want a functional base in southern Kefalonia. Suits couples or solo travellers not needing resort amenities, and who value proximity to the waterfront over luxury.
Lixouri 연대기
Lixouri was founded in the 16th century as a fishing and trading port, growing under Venetian rule. The 1953 earthquake flattened much of the town, and post-war reconstruction replaced neoclassical buildings with simple concrete structures. Today, Lixouri is a relaxed alternative to Argostoli, with a working harbour, a tree-shaded main square (Plateia), and a strong musical tradition rooted in the Philharmonic Society. Its contemporary identity balances local life with summer tourism, offering tavernas and boat trips to nearby beaches like Xi and Petani.

🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →주위를 둘러보는
Lixouri Central Square (300m from Apollonion) → Xi Beach (stop: Xi Bay)

Lixouri 주요 관광지
💡 Tuesday mornings are best – fewer tourists and the fish seller from Fiskardo shows up with fresh octopus.
💡 Ask at the front desk to see the 16th-century manuscript collection – it's not always on display but they'll show it if you ask nicely.
💡 Go on a Saturday morning around 10am – the priest sometimes opens the side crypt which holds old burial slabs.
💡 Come just before sunset and buy a coffee at one of the kiosks – the view across the bay to Argostoli turns orange and quiet.
💡 Bring water shoes – the pebbles are sharp. Early morning the beach is empty and you'll see herons by the rocks.
