Nice sandy beach, cristal clear water and sun-beds options - cafe area with paid sun-beds or public beach area where you can use your own umbrellas. This is one of the most crowded beach but you can always find a spot. Water sports are also possible option here.

Hands down our favourite spot of the whole holiday — honestly one of the nicest beaches I’ve ever been to! The sand is soft and lovely (though fair warning, it does get scorching hot in peak sunshine!), and the water is absolutely crystal clear. I’m usually a bit hesitant about swimming in the sea, but I felt so confident here because the water was so clear and calm — you could see everything around you. It made for such a relaxing swim. The beach itself was clean, spacious, and never felt overcrowded. There were several shaded areas available too, which is great if you don’t have your own umbrella. One of the best parts is the convenience — there are three beachside bars/restaurants right there, plus a water sports provider if you’re feeling adventurous. The clear waters also made for perfect snorkelling — we saw loads of little fish without having to go far at all.

A small but nice beach with crystal clear waters and fine sand hidden in a bay with a beach bar with parking nearby. It is a well-sheltered beach where you can walk peacefully when strong winds blow on the island, it is only slightly affected by waves due to the bay and the huge rocks in the water on the side of the beach

Beautiful beach! Long stretch of sand, plenty of spaces to lie down in peace. Sand had good fine coarseness to it and was clean. Nice couple of restaurants for a bite/Cafe if you want to save money from the sunbeds.

Crystal clear water, shallow and ideal for families and young children, sandy beach. Sand can get very hot, so take flip flops/shoes. Plenty of car parking at the top and the steps down are not too steep, but can be a bit sandy/slippy. Loads of sun beds and parasols to choose from at ok prices and there is a large section where you can lay towels and take umbrellas. Several public toilets and a couple of beach bars which are great for snacks and drinks - prices are quite high though. Overall a great beach and facilities.

Clean beach with little to no wasps. There’s plenty of parking and it’s easy to walk around. The water is crystal clear and not crowded at all. The service at the beach bar is a bit lacking though the staff can sometimes come across as grumpy, and the prices for food and drinks are quite high. €20 for a chicken sandwich with fries and around €8 for a beer. Soft drinks were about €3.50. Renting the sunbeds is also rather expensive. In October we paid €30 for two beds and an umbrella. So if you come often, that can add up. There’s also a very cute orange cat wandering around. He likes to lie in the shade near you, but be careful, he tends to scratch if you try to pet him!

This is a truly superb beach. The water is crystal clear and it is isnt a huge walk from the main road. Plenty of car parking for scooters and cars. We were only staying about a 10 minute walk from the beach and it was perfect for anyone staying at san lorenzo village or within that area. We never bothered with getting any sun loungers. Plenty of room for you to bring your umbrellas to enjoy the day. Supermarkey sells them for €20 which is a short walk. Zorbas restaurant also do takeaways to bring down. Honestly a fantastic beach.

The most beautiful beach ⛱️ with outstanding views. Free parking, changing rooms and WCs. Sunbathing and swimming in the crystal clear sea made easy with plenty of space, small shop with a shaded area. Beautiful way to relax and very popular with locals who are so friendly. Sunbeds and umbrella 15 Euro and cash and card both taken.

Excellent beach, great for spending time with the kids. The beach is sandy and the entrance is very gentle, the beach has all the necessary services and you don't have to pay for a beach umbrella or chairs if you bring your own or just want to lie in the sun. There is limited parking on site and another parking space across the road on a sandy lot. Highly recommended.

Expensive umbrella charge! Wanted 100 euros for a front row umbrella! 70 for further back. Seems like trying to gouge cruise ship visitors. Nice beach but slippery stairs down to beach and entry into the water rocky for first 5 meters. Very nice sand after that. Water sports a bit noisy as they go back and forth with inflatables.

The water is calm and crystal clear but keep in mind that the sunbeds are in limited number so it is pretty difficult to find available ones if you don't get there early. The cost is 15 euros for 2 sunbeds

Lovely beach right next to White rocks hotel. The sea is crystal clear to start and then a lovely tourqoise. Be careful entering sea as first metre is fine single that sucks you in, then few metres of smooth rock before hitting sand. Price for front row umbrella and two loungers was €20 (SEP 25).

Very beautiful and clean beach! Lots of fish to look at and mostly sandy:) it has a shower, a cafe, changing rooms and a bathroom next to the parking. Also you can rent kounge chairs and umbrellas. Highly recommend.

A nice sandy beach in Lassi. Lots of changing rooms, rather clean toilets (on the parking lot but be warned: no toilet paper at all). Plenty of natural shade because of the rocks. Paid sunbeds - 15 Euro a pair. The water is amazing and a friend of mine saw a massive sea turtle! The only bad thing are the many cigarette buds in the sand, like hundreds.

A truly beautiful spot by the sea, with a stunning view and a charming old windmill that gives the place a unique touch. The food was delicious and worth the wait, even if service was a bit slow. The staff was very polite and even let enjoy my meal on the lounge sofas, which made the experience more relaxed and enjoyable. The only real disappointment was the party that had been announced for 1 AM, also promoted on social media — unfortunately, it never happened and there was no explanation. Still, the atmosphere and the quality of the food made up for it.

The negative reviews are, in my opinion, unfair. We ate dinner one evening here to watch the sun go down. It wasn't busy at all, so the atmosphere was maybe a little subdued. No wait for a table and we seated right by the open gkass doors overlooking the sea. The service was good, polite, attentive but not "in your face". All portions were a good size, the arincini with roquefort cheese in " angel hair" fine pasta strands partially so. For mains, rolled chicken with shrimp and the pork tenderloin. Both well presented and cooked just right. No deserts as we were full, but the coffee was good. Wine reasonably priced for the type of establishment it is aiming to be. It's a drive or taxi out from Argostoli but easy enough to find. Overall, it was a good dining experience, not the cheapest in Argostoli, but if you just want your standard Greek fayre, it's not for you.

the place is nice, on the water, cool athmosphere, food is also not bad, a little overpriced due to the location. however the service could really use some improvement, as the waiters and the staff are not the happiest people on the planet. plates were not descrived and badly explained in english. if you want to treat yourself do, but dont get too large expectations on the service, come for the food not for the service.

We were a group of 13 and waited over two hours before any food arrived. When my tuna finally came, it was completely raw — and not in a good “sushi” way, just undercooked and inedible. When I politely mentioned it to the waiter, his response was rude, dismissive, and downright unpleasant. Between the endless wait, poorly prepared food, and hostile service, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. I would strongly advise avoiding this place at all costs.

This is a very wonderful place, very beautiful officiants and very delishes food and meals! All respects for you, orthodox brothers!

We wanted some cocktails but they were so small and didn’t taste good, the personal was so unfriendly and it was too expensive

Nice ambient by the beach, prices are a bit higher, but you'll enjoy the view. Staff is very slow so don't hurry 👌

During our recent stay in the area, we visited this restaurant twice, and while the experiences were consistent in some ways, our feelings about the food varied between visits. One thing that remained constant was the fantastic staff. Every person we encountered was warm, friendly, and always smiling, which made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The service was quick and attentive on both occasions, which is always a huge plus. As for the food, our first visit was fantastic. We started with a fresh, vibrant salad and a flavorful fava spread that set the tone for what felt like a perfect dinner. The highlight, though, was the sea bream with orzo – cooked to perfection, with the orzo beautifully complementing the fish. We left very impressed and eager to return. Our second visit, however, didn’t quite live up to the first. This time, we ordered the octopus and the cod burger. Unfortunately, both dishes were underwhelming. The octopus lacked the tenderness and flavor we were hoping for, and the cod burger, while creative, didn’t match the quality of the sea bream we had before. Overall, it's a restaurant with great service and a cozy atmosphere, but consistency in the food quality was hit or miss. If you stick to their signature dishes, like the sea bream, you're in for a treat.

I decided to review with 5 stars even though there was a lot to waiting because the food was excellent and people were polite. Is the kitchen understaffed? Possibly. But the end result was tasty and the value you get for what you pay unbeatable.

Easily the best restaurant in Lixouri — and honestly one of the best dining experiences we’ve had anywhere in Greece after several trips across the islands. Avli blends Greek tradition with broader Mediterranean influences in the most delightful way. From the oven-warm homemade bread with salty pickle butter to the grand finale of a San Sebastian cheesecake, every dish is pure perfection — without the pretentiousness you sometimes get with fine dining. Special mention goes to the unique moussaka, which first drew us here after being featured on a well-known German culinary TV show. It literally melts in your mouth, and we couldn’t believe it costs only €12. I’m not saying they should charge more, but it would still be worth it at double the price. Another highlight: the Hünkar. We’d never heard of it before, but the creamy eggplant purée paired with the most tender veal (cooked for what must have been half a day) was unforgettable. We came twice in just three days — and would’ve happily returned again if their season hadn't come to a well deserved end. An absolute must-visit on Kefalonia, no matter where you’re staying on the island.

By far the best restaurant in Lixouri. Every dish, meat, fish or veggie just beautifully prepared and delicious. Gutted we only ate here twice this week.

After having a divine dinner with my wife at this heavenly restaurant, I told the staff I wanted to marry the chef. Friendly and attentive staff, especially the girl with curly hair and glasses who is wearing a “Tropical” t-shirt tonight. If you're in Kefalonia, you can't go home without stopping here. We've had dinner and lunch at many restaurants on the island, and I really think everyone else should come and take cooking lessons at this restaurant. I won't say anything else!

Really lovely food. I found this place through Google and am very glad I did. I had the moussaka which was amazing - very very tasty. We also had some chips and various dips for starter. The waitress spoke English which was very helpful and recommended some lovely wine. The venue was small but clean and not too noisy so you can hear each other speak which is as good. In terms of the other people - the one of the Kefalonia meat pies was burnt which was a shame and the other wasn’t but was a bit dry and needed some gravy - which other restaurants offer. The main meals like moussaka and pie need a salad or vegetable to go with it as you do only get the pie or the moussaka - so not a complaint but just a suggestion. You also can’t order a salad separately to go with it even if you fancy it. The staff were accommodating in that we had a vegetarian with a nut allergy and they managed to make a lovely pasta dish. All in all the food is fantastic on the whole - just a few dishes needed a bit more attention to detail. We were a large table of 10 people and service as a good speed. Would go back & worth a visit.

The “Breezy” zucchini salad was fantastic the traditional Kefalonia pie could have been more herby in the filling but the crust was perfection - really obvious that this kitchen knows what they’re doing delivering contemporary twists on traditional local food and produce! The homemade lemonade is also very welcome on a summer afternoon!

Very pretty on the eye. Sunbeds starts at €12. North side it's more stony other slightly better. Lunch was nice. It's quite a busy beach when we expect to be secluded. But yes it's pretty...

Amazing beach but need to check the wind before you go as the waves can be very dangerous! We all swim a lot but the day we went it had wind and the waves were crazy even if you were standing outside!! Otherwise the beach is amazing and the sea deepens fast!

Absolutely stunning beach with crystal clear waters and a beautiful mix of white pebbles and soft sand. Perfect for swimming, relaxing, and soaking up the natural beauty—pure bliss!

Petani Beach is a beautiful spot with stunning sunset views. The water is an incredible shade of blue. There are some rocks in the water, so water shoes might be helpful. The beach is equipped with sunbeds (around €12–15), but there are also free areas where you can lay your towel directly on the sand. We highly recommend exploring the far right side of the beach. Tucked away there is a secluded, wild little cove framed by dramatic cliffs — a hidden gem that makes you feel like you have the beach entirely to yourself. The water in this area was so crystal clear and inviting that we didn’t want to leave.

Very beautiful place, it has a combination of white pebbles and soft sand. The water is crystal clear. The beach bar has great food. You can park for free on the side of the road and then walk for 5-10 minutes. A set of 2 sunbeds & umbrella is 15€.

To me, this is the most beautiful beach on the island. It's stunning both in the morning and worth staying in the afternoon to watch the sunset. The water is crystal clear, even in the evening. Great for snorkeling. The beach is covered with fine, shiny pebbles. There are a few cafés, but also plenty of free space. A perfect 10 from me.

One of the better beaches on the island, the road is a bit steep but so it is on most beaches, parking is difficult because of the crowd but the water is great, clear and warm, no filthy sand but perfect small stones which is a godsent 🙏

I love seafood and I love pasta. But here, my fisherman’s pasta was a major disappointment. Overcooked noodles, undercooked seafood, and bad sauce. I only took a few bites and couldn’t finish it. However, my friend came the night before and said it was good so maybe it was just my experience? Either way I did not enjoy it. I guess try it for yourself and see

Great family-run pizza place with immaculate vibes! The excellent wood-fired pizza filled us up and the service was even better. The waiters would even speak with the guests in a very natural manner. My girlfriend and I enjoyed watching the sun set on the Aenos mountain range. Would recommend!

Big portions, reasonable price and very helpful staff. We were given free homemade desserts which tasted amazing. 2 pizzas and 2 drinks were €29, the pizzas were that big we took half home each to have the next day.

we had an exceptional pizza as well as a fillet steak cooked to perfection! Then an amazing chocolate lava cake with ice cream that was delicious. We were very pleased with our meal and the warm family service!

Don’t ever make the mistake and visit that restaurant! When we arrived to that restaurant which is located in Lixouri, Kefalonia adjacent to the sea, we were greeted by a waitress who told us that she was very sorry to inform us that the food will be delayed to be served around 45 minutes. Due to the fact that we had already made a reservation the day before, we decided to stay. To our surprise, not only did the waitress delayed 20 minutes to take our order but also we spend more than an hour(even though it should come after 45 minutes ) waiting for the food to be served to our table (not to mention that they brought it at one hour of delay as we were flew off the handle and finally complained). Coming to a conclusion the food wasn’t that good at all so as to deserve the delay and if you really want to sample Italian food in lixouri, there are way better restaurants(not only fancy) to visit and be treated with an appropriate service and eat great food.Also the day after, we asked -due to curiosity- some locals about that restaurant and the confirmed that its service had always been appalling and the food is always delayed to be served( 45 - 50 minutes) despite how crowd the restaurant is.

The pizza was tasty, with a nice thin crust. The risotto was good, but could be better with less salt. We were the only customers at the time we were there, and we both thought the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Lovely food, lots of flavour. For my preference just a bit too much cheese but lots of toppings too. Pizza is big enough to share. Good service, sea view we would recommend here.

As someone who worked at Ksouras Taverna Restaurant for a month, I can honestly say it was a great experience. I had to leave for personal reasons, but during my time there, I was truly impressed. The kitchen is exceptionally clean — one of the cleanest I’ve seen in my professional experience. The management is organized, respectful, and fair, and the team works together with great communication and positivity. It’s also clear how much they care about their guests — the hospitality and attention to detail are at a very high level. It was a pleasure to be part of the team, even for a short time.

We have been visiting this restaurant for several years now and our experience is consistently excellent. The food is of high quality and always prepared with great flavor. The staff are exceptionally friendly and work with remarkable dedication, even during the busiest moments. The view from the restaurant is stunning and adds to the relaxed atmosphere. The beach beds, along with the accompanying service, are a valuable addition: orders are delivered quickly and professionally to the beach, making the stay even more comfortable. Both the restaurant and the bar unquestionably deserve a perfect 10 in our opinion. The consistent quality, hospitality, and ambiance make this a place we are happy to return to year after year.

The most outstanding bay on the island and great restaurant.Always changing from big waves to calm seas like a mill pond! Fresh fish, sea bass and sea bream just to mention a few; calamari and several local dishes to suit all; washed down with a nice cold beer or the local village wine, delicious 😋 Not to mention the new cocktail bar and excellent sunbed area, what more do you need 😀

Excellent spot with fresh, delicious food and great service. The views of the beach and water added to the relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. Everything was well-prepared and full of flavour. No issues at all. highly recommend.

On our 2 Week Teip in Kefalonia we came like 4 or 5 times to have something to eat and to drink. The food was always perfectly cooked and very delicious. The Service was always on point and really friendly. We want to thank the whole team for our great times and look foreward to see you again soon.

Fabulous all 'round! Food rustic and great Waitering par excellence Deena know her stuff!

Wonderful restaurant with fresh food and seafood. Right by the waves at Petanoi beach, with an amazing view!

Absolutely lovely place for a drink and some food. I really like how there are different seating areas for just drinks, food and they are separated into smoking and non smoking areas which is a nice touch. The ladies here work so hard and really take hospitality and service to the next level. Even when me and my family just came for drinks, we were given free slices of delicious frozen cheesecake which convinced us to come back for dinner later that day. It was delicious and we were once again given complimentary cheesecake, we honestly go back just for that it's that good. The food is fresh, there's plenty of variety and it's great value for money. My favourite thing was the squid appetiser, the best calamari I've ever had, so fresh and not chewy at all. My brother had these amazing stuffed vine leaves too which I'd recommend to anyone wanting to try something new. The atmosphere is brilliant, they play wonderful greek music and there are play areas to keep children entertained.

This was so good! Very friendly, you get some flatbreads and Tzatziki, on the house. Followed by a large portion of Moussaka, straight from the oven. Then some cheesecake sorta thing, on the house. I can fault it at all, so tasty, so good. Really it was. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic experience at this local taverna! The food quality and flavors were outstanding, with generous portions at very reasonable prices. We also received a complimentary local appetizer with our meal, which was delicious, and as a dessert, an incredible cheesecake for free — its taste will stay with you long after. The host was extremely kind and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant atmosphere was also very pleasant and cozy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Greek cuisine and a warm, memorable dining experience!

My favourite place in Lassi! Me and my family kept coming back here on our holiday because the service was so brilliant. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the food is just wonderful, you can tell it's made fresh to order and prepared with love. Everything here is very affordable, with cocktails around 6-7 euros all day! (Most places are 8 euros during happy hour) The tavern is beautiful as is it's surroundings and it is only a 5 minute walk from the beach, very convenient. The staff also give you complimentary cheesecake which is delicious and you get it if you get just drinks or food! Definitely try this place if you're in the area! ❤️

Already 3 times here and everytime was even better than previous one. The staff is very kind and works a lot for customer satisfaction. The food is amazing. They also gave us appetiziers and deserts (one of the best cheesecake that I ever ate). Also shots at the end. We will definitely come back when in Kefalonia again.

This place is great, very tasty food prepared with love and the creamy cheesecake is 😋 the ladies work very hard and look after every customer with a smile. Portions are huge so can easily be shared by two people. Cannot find better place to eat on the island, so even when we stay in the north, we still make at least one trip to the south to incorporate one meal at this gorgeous place 🥰

Had Chicken Souvlaki and loved it. Was also served with appetizer and cheesecake in the end for free. Would love to go there daily for the lunch till the time I am here.

Ok, I don't know why this place has such a low Google rating so I'm going to write this in a bid to change that. We were recommended this place by locals and were not disappointed. The location is amazing - breezy and cool in the heat, with lovely blue water lapping underneath while you enjoy local fresh fish - oysters, octopus, grilled bream - amazing. Not the cheapest, but absolutely worth it for the quality of the good, the friendly service, and the beautiful atmosphere. Also we received a free dessert and liqueur. What's not to like? Don't be a dummy and pass up on this place.

Stopped here for a quick drink with a beautiful view from the decking. The board at the entrance offers fresh juices and milkshakes, but we were only given a wine menu with pricey full bottles. The service wasn’t brilliant and two soft drinks were the price of a meal elsewhere. Don’t recommend, sadly.

- very pricey for what offered. Eg. wild asparagus at 17€!! - food in general is good but nothing exceptional. - friendly staff and nice location.

Brilliant place with amazing food, managed to eat amazing razor clams which are really hard to find. Great value for money. Managed to see turtles mating while eating, was quite the relaxing lunch.

First thing: go there only if you have time and you are relaxed. It’s very popular and busy. We have been twice in a week both times in the evening, once at the beginning of service (~ 7:30 pm) and once towards the end (after 10 pm). Both times without reservations and we got a table without waiting. The owner is a very characterful person, funny and helpful, but be prepared to be interrupted when ordering as he wanders off to talk to someone else. Don’t worry he will come back 🙂. Now for the food: this is the place to eat fresh fish. We had various carpaccios and ceviches, all delicious. Their crab salad is a must. The rest of the fish options, fried or grilled, are all valid. We tried fried calamari (fresh, exceptionally soft and not at all rubbery- something very rare) and grilled squid (very flavoursome). Very few items are from frozen on the menu so it was easy to avoid them. Desserts are also homemade and delicious. On our last night we were lucky enough to be seated on the farthest table very close to the sea and we were greeted by a sea turtle foraging for its dinner and swimming happy in the water near us.

Wow, this place is amazing. Food was exceptional as was the service & presentation. Location really lovely - top end of Argostoli near where the larger cruise ships and motor cruisers berth. The deck you are seated is right on the waters edge, absolutely beautiful. A bit more expensive than most but you get what you pay for right. We had the home made lobster ravioli which was stunning, well worth a visit.

Best food we had in Greece so far. Wonderful dishes, service impeccable and terrific view.
