About Fiscardo
Fiscardo is a small traditional village on the northernmost tip of Kefalonia, the most beautiful island in western Greece with impressive mountainous landscapes, green forests, most famous beaches, archaeological ruins, characteristic castles and much more.
The village was named after Robert Guiscard, who seized the island from the Byzantines on his last expedition in 1085. Swathed in greenery, the settlement provides an excellent sample of Ionian island architecture, with its old manor houses and maze of cobbled streets that beckon to be explored. All this, against a backdrop of crystal-clear beaches and coves, fringed with olive trees and cypresses.
During the earthquake that took place in 1953 much of Kefalonia’s old architecture was destroyed except for Fiscardo which remained almost untouched. Today, the town has an excellent tourism infrastructure: in addition to the traditional tavernas offering authentic Greek cuisine, fresh fish and lobster, there are a number of cafes and bars, as well as yacht-mooring facilities which are to be enjoyed. The beauty of the landscape and the hospitable locals make Fiscardo a favourite destination for holidaymakers from across the world, including numerous celebrities.
