Overview
Fiskardo is one of the few villages in Kefalonia that survived the 1953 earthquake largely intact, preserving its Venetian-era stone buildings painted in bright blues and yellows. The small fishing harbor fills with yachts in summer, and the village makes a convenient base for accessing nearby beaches like Myrtos and Antiamoos, as well as the ferry to Lefkada.
