It is linked with the Argostoli-Fiskardo Road at approximately at the 8th km. Farsa is situated on a mountain slope and a small valley to the east that are filled with farmlands. The mountains cover the area around Davgata, about 1 to 2 km west is the Argostoli Gulf. The area features grasslands and bushes with some farms within the village.

Much of the population from the mid-20th century left for larger towns and mainly cities.
