We stayed in Fiscardo from 4th -11th October 2022. It is a charming, very pretty little harbour which is very popular with yachts arriving and mooring right in front of the restaurant terraces. Like pretty much everywhere on Kefalonia’s coastline, it has wonderful views out to sea and the neighbouring islands. It was still nicely buzzy and nothing had yet shut for the season. We did sense however, that places were about to so possibly not the best choice much later in the year. I think we timed it right because apparently in high season, it is heaving with up to 1500 tourists a day arriving for day trips on the ferry. We didn’t go out for dinner at all because we enjoyed barbecuing on our villa’s terrace. However there are loads of eateries to choose from. We enjoyed having lunch and people / yacht watching at Palazzo which was friendly, with good food (not fine dining and no seafood) and very reasonably priced. We would have liked to sample some seafood, but we’re always drawn back to Palazzo. It is definitely available however in many of the other restaurants and Vasso’s next door looked good. We stayed at Fiscardo View Villas (there are three) We had Levander but next time I would choose Yasemi as Levander’s view of Fiscardo harbour from its lovely infinity pool is largely obscured by the roof of the third villa below This is just from the pool though - it has spectacular views all round when you’re not in the pool and Levander also benefits from having a stunning view of the hills to the side and the best late sun of the three villas. Fiscardo View villas are absolutely amazing and I could not recommend them more highly. They about a three minute walk from the centre of the harbour and at night, we could hear the buzzy hum from all the restaurants (but not in an intrusive way). I would definitely stay in Fiscardo again.

Fiskardo is a beautiful place. The harbor area is quaint and filled with restaurants and little boutiques. There are supermarkets which have plenty of options.The beaches are pebble but so beautiful. There are lots of activities for water enthusiasts. We rented a small boat big enough for 5 and went out for the day. Really reasonable and if you arre a confident boater, well worth doing. We were able to go over to Ithaca to a lovely beach which had food and refreshments and stop in little coves to swim and snorkel. The area around Fiskardo is hilly so be aware if you’re walking and not driving. It is easy to reach lots of pretty beaches by car. One of our favorite places to eat was Mirellas, not in the harbor, just a few minutes drive. The food was great and the view is lovely. The locals are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return to this beautiful place.

Lots to do. Fiskardo Kayaks for a great day out. Boat hire, shopping and restaurants. Clean and felt very safe. Restaurants not so great for vegetarians but managed. Foki beach and Emplisi beach were lovely with shade provided by olive trees

Fiscardo is a one of the more cosmopolitan towns in Kefalonia having a vibrant sailing and restaurant scene. It’s more expensive and a bit more upmarket than some other towns in the south of the island. Staying just outside can be more cost effective and there are plenty of local tavernas that offer typical Greek dishes that Fiscardo restaurants sometimes overlook aiming at more Mediterranean cuisine. Anti Pata just outside Fiscardo has a lovely local taverna called the old stone house family run with excellent food and hospitality

Incredibly picturesque harbour…lots of lovely swimming coves. We travelled by bus… very straightforward from Argostoli, 10.15 from the bus station… abit of an early one to get back , 6.15 in the morning. Surprisingly dark! Amazing sun rise over Ithaca. We had a book of walks in kefalonia so did a gentle stroll around the light houses and beaches, woodlands and fields , stopping at an inland village for a drink. The bakery in Fiskardo is excellent,they are open 7to7, 7 days a week. Awesome spanakopita and village green pie, the best bougaris (cream pies)…

Having sailed the Ionian for many years, Fiscardo is always our favourite Port - a mini St Tropez with numerous tavernas, charming back streets, many self catering villas and flats. There is always bustle and interesting sights and goings on and the nearby beaches (Foki and Emplysi) are great for swimming and sun bathing.
