Fiskardo, northern Cephalonia

Travelled from Sami up the Ithaca Channel to the pretty little harbour of Fiskardo. By all accounts it’s a very popular yachtie stop, and we can understand why just glad we visited in December and appeared to be the only visitors. Did a couple of walks one through the Cypress trees to the south the other to the lighthouses on the headland. The older, Venetian lighthouse is now in a private house’s garden, how awesome would that be? Scenery was stunning, sorry no photos as took camera not iPad. This morning on another walk, this time to the northwest, where we saw loads of toadstools I even managed a quick skinny dip, bonus of being the only ones around, bays and coves were lovely, water was beautiful aquamarine and surrounding rock is flinty so lovely smooth white pebbles, idyllic. In the photo of the town on the left you can see a yellow house with blue shutters it’s for sale and is the one John wants!Læs mere
