Lakithra

Lakithra holidays

This popular spot in the Livathos area is a great base for exploring, as you can easily get out and about to most of the south from here. Hire bikes and explore the lush greenery nearby, or simply slow the pace and spend your days enjoying a slice of village life like a local.

Experience village life

There’s something really authentic about Lakithra. Most businesses are family-run, from the tavernas serving up tasty Kefalonian delicacies to the traditional Greek food shops selling all the best pastries and goodies. There are more locals than tourists too, making it the perfect place for a peaceful break.

A great spot for discovery

There’s plenty to see and do within easy reach of Lakithra. Lassi, with its two white sand beaches, is just ten minutes away, so you’ll be sorted if you’re looking for more seafront ground to cover. The capital, Argostoli, is also just a stone’s throw away – expect museums and a bustling square.
