St. Georgios Castle stands on a hill above Peratata village, about 5 km from Spartia. The castle of St George dates back to Byzantine times
but the castles form that you will see now dates to the sixteenth century. After the Venetians conquered the Turks, the Castle became the capital
of their new colony. At the peak of Venetian power, 15,000 people lived in the fortress and its surrounding houses. Within up to 82 ft high and 20 ft thick walls, 8000 people found shelter whenever pirates or hostile forces attacked. It was the capital of the island until 1757.
St. Gerasmios For an interesting day out you might wish to visit the mummified body of St Gerasimos who is the Patron Saint of Kefalonia.
His body is sacred and is kept in a casket within the monastery. The old monastery is built over the cave where St Gerasimos lived as a hermit and can be reached by climbing down a ladder into the cavern below.

We stayed at Amari Villa in summer 2022 having booked directly with the owners. What a fantastic villa, a real home from home. Having seen the photos online we expected the property to be nice but upon arrival, we were stunned at just how huge and also grand this villa really is. With 3 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms, there is plenty of room. We had a washing machine, the first time in all our years of travelling abroad with our family. Every bedroom upstairs has its own balcony and the views out to sea from the property are spectacular. My children spent endless hours having fun in the large outdoor swimming pool which is very private and not overlooked. There is a large outdoor area for alfresco dining with a beautifully made stone BBQ area. The property itself is easy to find and only a short drive from the airport. We would definitely recommend Amari villa and hopefully we will return one day too. Many thanks to the owners for a fabulous stay at this stunning villa. Reviewed by Ronan - Sep 2022

Thank you so much Dina and Harshad for being so understanding over our concerns for travel this year and allowing us to postpone until 2022. Cant wait for our visit to Amari Villa.
What a wonderful holiday we all had. The Villa had absolutely everything we needed, the kitchen was extremely well equipped , the beds were very comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. The pool was lovely, hard to get the grandchildren out of it. Plenty of room in the garden for the children to play. The views from the balconies was very special. Spartia is such a lovely village, two little shops were very well stocked, the restaurant was quite a surprise, excellent menu with beautifully presented food , wish we could visit again. The beach is lovely, we enjoyed sitting on the wall in the evening and just watching the sun set. The flowers everywhere were stunning, the colours were beautiful. Kefalonia and Amari Villa was the perfect place for our family holiday after such a difficult couple of years. Dina and Fotini could not have been more helpful. Thank you both so much for making our holiday perfect.

This was our second stay at the villa and it is even better than we remember from our first visit. This villa is simply stunning with fabulous views of Mount Aenos, the Ionian Sea and beyond. A truly luxury villa with 5-star treatment!! Everything has been well thought out and you have everything you need for a villa. The infinity pool is just divine made for pure relaxation. A well-equipped kitchen with everything one would require, a spacious lounge and very comfortable bedrooms. The villa is surrounded by Olive groves making for a very tranquil setting. The hosts were incredibly helpful, answering all our questions. Anything we required they helped from arranging an in-house chef to celebrate a special occasion, to a family boat trip. Amari Villa is only a short drive from the airport and the many wonderful places/beaches in Kefalonia, making it an ideal base for me and my family. I would absolutely recommend this villa experience to anyone wishing to visit the island of Kefalonia. You could not ask for more!! Simply amazing. We will be returning soon for our third stay.
