Svoronata is a pretty village in the Livathos region of Kefalonia - an area of fertile valleys, rolling hills and prosperous rural hamlets spread out amongst the olive groves and fruit orchards. This sleepy village with its tiny, winding streets lined with brightly coloured gardens still retains much of its traditional Greek charm and, despite being only a short drive from the airport, the area is both peaceful and scenically beautiful.
Ideal for couples and families seeking a quiet, relaxing break or as a base for exploring the rest of the island, Svoronata has three excellent beaches all of which offer child-friendly shallow waters and uncrowded sandy shores - even in the height of the season. And, when you've finished soaking up the sun for the day, why not cool down in one of the handful of excellent tavernas or bars in the village? The evening entertainment in Svoronata is relatively low key and based around eating out. More lively distractions however can be found nearby in the busier capital of Argostoli and the resort of Lassi - both just a few miles from Svoronata.
