Faraklata (Greek: Φαρακλάτα) is a small settlement located 6 km northeast of Argostoli, NW of Sami and north of the Argostoli-Sami Road (GR-50). Faraklata is passed by the road linking near Razata and Dilinata and an uneven road to Makriotika. The village sits on a mountain and a valley areas and also has farmlands as well. Faraklata also features a small cave east of the area.

Much of the population are rural and the main economy is based on agriculture. The income is in the middle range. Much of the population from the mid-20th century left for larger towns and mainly cities. The 1953 Ionian Earthquake destroyed every building in Faraklata that took months to rebuilt, it also lost people in the village. The entire population that time as well as other parts of the island were homeless and part of the population left Faraklata.
