Fiskardo Village

We continue to the cosmopolitan village of Fiskardo. Fiskardo is the only part of Kefalonia that retains much of its original Venetian architecture. Most of the buildings preserve their traditional local colour that travels you back in time: Grand mansions with elegant balconies, old two-storey houses, the dark red of roof tiles, the greenish of mountainsides, the blue of the sea and the overall scenery is enchanting,making it a really special place on the island to visit. A lot of the island’s buildings were destroyed in the earthquake of 1953, as featured in the film Captain Corelli’s Mandolin.This makes Fiskardo an understandably popular spot not just an excursion highlight but one of the most popular places in the Ionian for visiting yachts thanks to its natural harbour. Its winding waterfront is lined with luxury boats and seafood restaurants

Assos Village:

Final stop at the north part of the island, where picturesque Assos village ,is built alongside of the cliffs of the same peninsula, among pine trees and cypresses. Sparsely built with traditional color, in an impressive landscape, Assos fascinates with the peace and simplicity it depicts.
