Holidays to Lakithra offer a window into Kefalonian life. Here, time is spent enjoying al fresco meals, mingling with the locals, and exploring countryside that stretches for miles.
Brilliant location
The southern village of Lakithra owes its popularity to its spectacular setting. The hamlet’s whitewashed buildings are spread over a series of green foothills, which look out towards the Ionian Sea. Its high-up location means there’s always a nice breeze, even in the hot summer months.
Village life
The village centre is made up of timeworn churches, tavernas serving local food, and family-run businesses, including a traditional Greek bakery and a couple of mini markets. It’s about as far from commercial as you can get. Locals outnumber tourists, so you’ll get a nice snapshot of everyday village life.
