Fiskardo

The picturesque village of Fiskardo (205 inhabitants), which is the port of north Kefalonia, is the closest part of Kefalonia to Ithaca and has a small port where private boats anchor. The village is one of the few in the island that preserves its old architectural features (it has been listed), with traditional houses and pebbled steps and quays within tall cypresses. As it is said, in 1953, in the earthquake in Kefalonia, God protected it from any serious damage.

Here, you can visit the historical monastery of Themata dedicated to Panaghia (Virgin Mary), on the top of a verdurous slope.

It is a small, hidden beach at the northmost end of Kefalonia. A lovely beach, ideal for carefree and relaxed moments. You may get there from Antipata of Erisos (there are signs). But you have to pay attention because the road doesn’t reach up to the sea. You should take the trail (600 m) through the forest leading to an enchanting little port. The beach has big pebbles, calm green and blue water and the tree shadow reaches up to the sea.

beach with small pebbles and blue and green water. It is at the northmost end of the island, at the village with the same name. It is the only place which preserves the characteristics of the old Kefalonia, previous of the catastrophic earthquakes of 1953. Near the village you may find Emplisi and Foki beaches, some of the most known in the area, with small pebble and blue and green water. Near the beaches you will find traditional taverns serving a unique meat-pie with a kefalonian recipe.
