Article Trip to Fiskardo
The most famous town on Kefalonia
The town of Fiskardo can be found at the very northern tip of Kefalonia. It is also a port from where you can go to Lefkada or Ithaca. The sheltered bay with the harbor is surrounded by many taverns. The historic center is on a hill to the south of the bay. Even further south is a second, smaller bay with a city beach. However, be aware that this is the stop for all boat trips, so after the boats land, hundreds of visitors will flock to the area looking for a place to have lunch.
