Xi Beach
Παραλία Ξι
A rare orange-red sandy beach at the southern tip of the Paliki Peninsula, backed by white clay cliffs, with shallow, gently sloping water that suits families.
Xi Beach lies at the southern tip of the Paliki Peninsula, about 8 km south of Lixouri. It is known for its rare orange-red fine sand and the white clay cliffs behind it. The water is shallow and gentle, suitable for children to swim in. Many visitors smear the clay from the cliffs on their bodies as a natural mud bath. There is a beach bar, umbrella rental and plenty of water activities. You can take a ferry from Argostoli to Lixouri and drive from there, or drive around the lagoon from Argostoli, a journey of about 45 minutes.
