Most of the tavernas and restaurants are at the harbourside.
Fiskardo (often referred to as Fiscardo) is the northernmost town on the island of Kefalonia.
This dreamy, quaint fishing village was the only place on the whole of the island to escape relatively unscathed from the 1953 earthquake. As a result, Fiskardo retains much of it's original charm.
Venetian architecture is much in evidence around the picturesque harbour and it is here that village life centres, with most of the restaurants, tavernas and shops facing the sea.
Fiskardo lies about 50 kilometres away from Argostoli and can be accessed via the coastal road. The journey takes approximately 1½ hours by car.
