Xi Beach

Xi Beach is situated in the south of the Paliki peninsula of Kefalonia, Greece, and part of the district Mantzavinata near the town of Lixouri.

[1] The beach is a 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) strip of sand which is up to 50 metres (160 ft) wide in places.

Several roads branch on the approach to the area and bring one out at different locations along its length, usually close to a bar, taverna or apartment complex.

The surrounding sediment and cliffs at Xi Beach are made up of a white clay, which is eroded into sharp profiles by the rain.

There are several large Tavernas providing drinks and meals along the 4 km (2.5 mi) length of the beach area.
