About Peratata
Peratata is a traditional Kefalonian village just south of Argostoli and very close to the airport, best known as the location of the magnificent Castle of Saint George (Agios Georgios) — the imposing Byzantine and Venetian fortress that served as the capital of Kefalonia for over 300 years, from the Byzantine era through the Venetian period (1500–1757). The castle sits on a commanding hilltop at 320 metres with panoramic views over the entire southern Kefalonia plain, the Gulf of Argostoli and the distant Ionian Sea. The village below the castle has a traditional character with the quiet pace and architecture of an inland Kefalonian community.
The Castle of Saint George (Kastro) is one of the most historically significant and visually impressive fortifications in the Ionian islands — a large Byzantine-Venetian structure with well-preserved walls, towers, a remarkable interior with medieval and Renaissance architecture, and the commanding hilltop position that made it the natural centre of the island for centuries. The castle was the island's capital — with a population of 15,000 inside its walls at its height — before the establishment of Argostoli as the new capital in 1757. The castle museum and the panoramic view from the walls are among the finest experiences available to cultural visitors on Kefalonia. Peratata's proximity to the airport makes it one of the most accessible heritage sites on the island.
Important Transfer Information
Castle of Saint George: The Byzantine-Venetian Castle of Saint George (Kastro) above Peratata is one of the finest medieval fortifications in the Ionian, serving as Kefalonia's capital for over 300 years. The well-preserved walls, towers and interior buildings are open to visitors, and the panoramic view from the battlements over the entire Kefalonia plain and the Gulf of Argostoli is extraordinary.
Airport Proximity: Peratata is just 6km and 8 minutes from Kefalonia Airport — one of the closest village destinations to the terminal on the island. This proximity makes the Kastro an ideal first or last excursion, accessible even for visitors with short layovers.
Historical Capital: Peratata's Kastro was Kefalonia's capital city for centuries, housing a population of 15,000 within its walls at peak. The transition of the capital to Argostoli in 1757 left the medieval city on the hilltop gradually abandoned, creating the remarkably preserved atmospheric ruin visible today.
