Located on a gentle hillside overlooking the azure waters of the Ionian Sea, Spartia Bay Cottage offers the perfect combination of natural beauty, and traditional charm.

Situated on the southern shores of Kefalonia, this delightful property provides a perfect escape for anyone seeking authentic Greek island living. From the moment you arrive, Spartia Bay Cottage welcomes you with its warm and rustic character. Surrounded by olive trees, and the soothing sounds of nature, the property offers peace and privacy, ideal for couples looking to unwind and relax.

Thoughtfully designed with both tradition and comfort in mind, the interior features natural materials, soft tones, and modern amenities. The open-plan living area is bright and airy, with large windows which frame the sea views and fill the space with sunlight throughout the day.

Step out onto the terrace to find sweeping views across the Ionian Sea, with the island of Zakynthos often visible on the horizon. Whether you are enjoying a morning coffee, a lazy afternoon with a book, or a glass of local wine as the sun sets, the terrace is your front-row seat.

Charming Spartia is not far away; within a 20-minute walk downhill you will find a popular local taverna (600m) and beach (900m), backed by dramatic cliffs, is a quiet, family-friendly cove with shallow waters and golden sand. The cottage is just a short drive from the island’s capital Argostoli (12km) which is home to all amenities including a wealth of excellent restaurants and a bustling waterfront lined with coffee shops, bars, bakeries and wonderful fresh produce shops (mornings are a great time to visit as graceful sea turtles can regularly be spotted swimming directly alongside the quay).

Great Things to Do Near Spartia Bay Cottage

Visit Ithaca for the day

Well, we would recommend that you do some swatting up before you go, as the "Iliad" is littered with references to Ithaca, it was where Odysseus was trying to return to for 10 years! Much more easily, you could visit the cave of Nymphs, or why not simply relax, have a nice lunch in one of the waterfront cafes in Vathi and then drop into one of the many delightful coves for a swim or a nap.

Wine Lovers rejoice

Kefalonia has many excellent wineries, all of which are delighted to offer wine tastings. But please respect the laws, and don’t drink and drive. Why not go twice, and swap drivers? Or try the nearby Melissinos winery, the taxi drivers know the way ( and back!)

Pie in the sky

The Greeks love their pies, and the Kefalonians have taken it one step further in producing this nourishing dish. Everyone has their own secret recipe, so we are unable to tell you exactly whats in it, but it is flaky filo pastry stuffed with minced pork meat & rice along with the secret recipe of spices and sauce. It is delicious -and will have you walking on air...

Meze

Treat yourself to a typical Meze – a series of tiny dishes that accompany the aniseed based liquor, you can try an Ouzerie, that is similar to a Spanish Tapas bar – a great way to spend a lazy afternoon.

Take a trip...

to the aquamarine waters of Melissani Lake. We should entitle this 'not to be missed'. Melissani Lake is simply stunning: the colours and eerie atmosphere is something you will never forget.

The king of the castle

St Georges Castle is the historic capital of Kefalonia. A great place to wander and explore. There are many alleyways, along with a wonderful old church and monastery with ancient icons on display. Afterwards, why not stop for a coffee or lunch there.

Turtle rescue fund

The Kefalonia locals are extremely proud of the fact that the 'caretta caretta' turtles continue to use these unspoilt beaches in the south of the island to nest their eggs. As one would hope and expect, these beaches are protected and supervised to ensure that the eggs are not disturbed by the invasion of sun umbrellas and beach barbecues that can often be found on such stunningly beautiful beaches. Mounda Beach itself is unspoilt, beautiful and fascinating.

Dragati caves

Although they have deservedly become a serious attraction on the Island, it’s never so busy that you have to spend much time waiting to see them. We recommend that you try to arrive there either early(ish) morning or late afternoon, so as to be sure to avoid any bus party that may be visiting the caves as part of their Island tour. The Stalagmites and Stalactites are well worth the effort of driving here.

1600m mountain

Yes, you can drive all the way to the top of Mount Aenos- save your energy for taking photographs and taking in the panoramic views. You may even spot the elusive and extremely endangered wild ponies.

Walk across the Drapano bridge

and watch the fishermen catch their lunch. You'll be rewarded with beautiful views of Arogostoli on the way back. Stop off at the new trendy eaterie Lathokolla, just off the main square, which serves up cheap and cheerful meat dishes like souvlaki, kebabs, and delicious kotosouvli, a Kefalonian speciality, served on brown paper tablecloths!
