Kefalonia’s northernmost port is a delight, with paved quaysides where you can amble and watch the fishermen and amateur sailors tending their vessels.
There are old-fashioned gaslights on the way, and fronting the water in summer are tavernas, cafes and bakeries, interspersed by the odd boutique and art shop.
The harbour is completely sheltered and has glassy water with hardly a ripple.
Just across the channel are the mighty northwestern hills of Ithaca, while behind Fiscardo you can go walking in the fir-decked hills for a better vantage point for Ithaca and the deep blue Ionian Sea.
