With holidays to Spartia, you get Kefalonian charm courtesy of a quiet, hillside village – with lots of sights close by.
Kefalonia on the quiet
Spartia, on the southwest side of Kefalonia, has authentic Greece written all over it. In this sleepy hillside village, you get narrow streets lined with rustic houses, a church with a bell-tower, and a little square with just a few traditional tavernas. It’s the sort of place where you can really set your watch to go-slow and enjoy the peace and quiet.
A beach double act
It’s just 10 minutes’ drive to the coast – though many visitors enjoy walking down from the village through the lush countryside. Here, there’s a duo of sheltered beaches either side of a little fishing jetty. They’re a mix of sand and shingle, with some rocky areas that are great for snorkelling. You’re also in good windsurfing and sailing territory. Meanwhile, the beachfront restaurant is great for lunch with a sea view.
