Fiskardho
38º27’.5N – 20º35.1E
Fiskardho is a nice picturesque and characteristic village, built along a beautiful bay. It was the only village that remained relatively intact after the earthquake in 1953. Fiskardho is located on the NE side of the island of Kefalonia and is also known as the St. Tropez of the Ionian Sea. The port is often visited by flotillas and private yachts, but ferries and tourist boats from Lefkas and Ithaca also arrive here. Together they create a cosy atmosphere. Next to hotel Panorama there is an excavation site you can visit.

Fiskardo is easy to recognise by an old Venetian lighthouse beside the new lighthouse at the entrance to the bay.
