Chavriata
Chavriata (Greek: Χαβριάτα) is a historical, hill-top village located 8 km outside of the town of Lixouri (Katogi Area) west-southwest in the Paliki municipal unit on the Greek Ionian island of Kefalonia.
It is known as the "Balcony of the Ionian" owing to the commanding views it offers of both the fertile lowland and the sea. It is considered as the most beautiful and stunning village in the Paliki area also due to its intact local biodiversity and it is a popular destination for nature lovers and romantics.
==History==
Because of its strategic location, Chavriata has been the target of hostile takeovers throughout its long history. In the controversial book ''Odysseus Unbound'', Paliki was identified as the ancient location of Ithaca, the homeland of Odysseus.
During the two World Wars, hundreds of villagers gave their lives and the local resistance movements were very active. The village was severely destroyed during the 1953 Ionian earthquake. For decades, the village used to operate as the hub of agricultural production and animal farming for the entire peninsula providing employment opportunities to thousands of people that would come to work in the local farms from very far away.
