History

                                      LIXOURI CITY- ΛΗΞΟΥΡΙ

The oldest document which contains the name "Lixouri" was sent in 1534 by local authorities to the Senate of Venice. In the 19th century Lixouri was a popular tourist destination; Richard Strauss visited the town. Many houses were destroyed in the earthquakes on January 23, 1867 and in August 1953.

The province of Lixouri has more than 3,750 permanent residents. Built along the coast, just opposite Argostoli, to the southwest, it communicates with the capital with frequent ferries, while the distance is 34 km. It is run by a rushing torrent, dividing the city into two, and small bridges that connect one side with the other.
