Keramies is a quiet village, close to the village of Spartia. Spartia has a small shop and coffee bar. The beach at Spartia, which is only a short drive from Villa Aura, is a picturesque cove with shingle and rock. There are a couple of tavernas close to the beach. In the villages of Trapezaki and Peratata there are many tavernas and some shops, the capital Argostoli is only 15 minutes drive away. St. Georges venetian castle which was originally the capital of Kefalonia is around 5 minutes from the villa and is worth a visit, if only for the views. The area around Villa Aura is ideal for walkers, as there is a fairly flat plane surrounding the village. Many beaches and coves are dotted along this coastline from shingle/pebble to fine sand to the south. The quaint village of Kourkoumalata is worth a visit its upkeep was agreed after a donation to rebuild after the 1953 earthquake was given by one of its wealthy residents. Lord Byron visited this area when writing his poetry
