Fiskardo

Φισκάρδο

A Venetian-style harbor town that escaped the 1953 earthquake, lined with yachts and seafood restaurants.

Situated at the northern tip of the island, Fiskardo was one of the few villages to survive the 1953 Ionian earthquake intact, so it still has its 18th- and 19th-century Venetian-style colorful houses. The harbor is full of yachts, and the waterfront is lined with seafood restaurants, cafés and boutiques. The atmosphere is refined and relaxed. It was one of the filming locations for “Captain Corelli's Mandolin.” Nearby are Foki Beach, Emblisi Beach and the Venetian Lighthouse ruins. In summer, ferries run from here to Ithaca and Lefkada.
