The 1953 Ionian earthquake ruined almost every house in Sarlata which lost its original architecture of stone-build house which replaced by concrete anti-seismic homes and almost colorful houses. After the earthquake in the 1950s and the 1960s, construction of the airport which its runway is approximately 2 km began and lasted for a few years and it opened serving flights to Athens, and other destinations throughout Greece. Mamalakis visited Sarlata on his trip throughout Kefalonia mainly for broadcasting its Greek cuisines on Mega Channel.
