Lord Byron decided not to stay in Argostoli and moved to the village of Metaxate 10 kms out of town. He moved to a house with wonderful views over to the Ionian sea.
Byron was serene and content. In his Journals in Cephalonia he wrote ....... 'I like this spot although I do not know the reason and I would not like to leave. Here of course there are not many attractions, neither in the comforts of my house nor the melancholy view of the Black Mountain. There are no contacts with educated persons, nor are there any beautiful women. Yet in spite of all I would like to linger because I feel more satisfied and time passes more pleasantly than ever long before.'
Lord Byron was fond of horseback riding and rode along the country lanes of the Livatho area sometimes to Keramies, to Dorizata and to Trapezaki. Riding westward brought him to the village of Lakythra from where he would enjoy wonderful views across to Zakynthos island one way and to the island of Dia and its picturesque monastery in the other direction. Lord Byron would admire the stunning sunsets from this location. He would also ride to a seaside windmill south of the village of Svoronata to enjoy the magnificent view.
Byron stayed on Kefalonia for four months before departing to Missolonghi to help the Greek cause where he caught a fever and died.
Lord Byron's rock in Lakythra village is on a high vantage point with panoramic views of the Livatho area and sea. The literal translation of the inscription is "If I am a poet, I owe it to the air of Greece".

To find the spot, go up the side of Byron's Pizza in Lakithra and then take the first right. These are very narrow lanes, when I placed the cache I parked on the main road and walked, it's not far..... These days there is a fantastic view of the airport as well as what's already been mentioned.
You are looking for a magnetised film canister.
Cache will be maintained by a friend on the island in between our visits. Name and contact info on file with geocaching.com
