Livatho area spreads along the southern part of the island. Here,
the visitor can enjoy swimming in one of the picturesque beaches such as Lourdas
and Avithos. Once in the area, do not forget to visit Metaxata
village to see the house where Lord Byron lived for a while, in 1824, before
going to Messolonghi.
Touring around Livatho, it’s worth visiting Ntomata
and Kalligata, two villages
whose churches are decorated with magnificent wooden carved icon screens.
The sights of the area also include Ag.
Andreas’ Monastery and Ag.
Georgios’ Castle.
