Our mini guide to perfect Spartia days

Spartia is a small village in the southern end of Kefalonia and the backdrop to our magical yoga holidays. A hidden gem, it has secluded beaches, some great places to eat and lots of lovely spots to while away a relaxing day.

Here are a few of the things we love to do.

1) Walk to the village to get lunch supplies of delicious feta and tomatoes and stop off for an iced coffee at Cubic Cafe for refreshment for the journey back.

2) Snorkel or swim around the cliff face from the private Vigla beach to Spartia beach around the bay. Either head down mask on enjoying the underwater world or head up taking in the stunning mountain backdrop. The perfect way to build up an appetite before lunch in the dappled shade of the bougainvillea clad terrace at Panas Hotel.

3) For excellent food and a warm welcome try out Isalos, a family run taverna serving delicious fresh food with great service. You can’t go wrong with a Greek salad and the tzatziki.

4) Relax in a hammock on the Vigla clifftop looking out for turtles or take a massage in the shade of the trees. Then head to “Waterways” for the perfect sundowner spot and stunning views.

The perfect yoga beach holiday. See the Queen of Retreats review about our Kefalonia yoga holidays and see here to get inspired about Spartia.
