Enquire nowThe Ionian Islands region
Fiskardo is the northern port of the island. Maintains the traditional architecture of the Ionian Islands and has been declared as a protected village. The port of Fiskardo connects with the port of Ithaca and Lefkada and therefore Fiskardo is the place to begin day trips to Ithaca and Lefkada.
Fiskardo, according to the tradition, took its name from the pirate Robert Guiscard who conquered the village in the 11th century. Over the subsequent centuries it saw significant growth thanks to the Venetians and the port. Today Fiskardo is a cosmopolitan tourist destination.
Old preserved mansions with small balconies, narrow streets, dozens of tourist shops, taverns and cafes running around the harbor create images taken from everyday life painting.
Fiskardo is a pleasant surprise to guests, as any time you choose to walk in the streets or to sit and enjoy the breathtaking views, the colors and the atmosphere is unique.
Fiskardo and all nearby villages are surrounded by cypresses and olive trees.
The weather in early and late season can be variable, with intermittent rain and temperatures dropping in the evening. The summer is hot and dry with temperatures regularly exceeding 38 degrees C between June and September.
The Kefalonia / Fiscardo area
Cephalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands. Its capital is the beatiful Argostoli.
In Argostoli the visitor can admire the historical sea-bridge. It was manufactured by Charles de Bosse (''Devosetou'') with stone. The project was completed in 1812 and maintains this form until today.
You can find following Museums on the island:
- ''Corgialenos'', the History and Folklore Museum.
- The Archaeological Museum.
The sinks (''Katavothres'') are cracked-openings in the ground near the sea where
the water enters, followed by a long way underground across almost the entire island. The geological phenomenon discovered in 1963 when geologists Viktor Maurin and
Josef Zötl from the Technical Univercity of Graz dropped 160 kilos of paint in one of these sinks. Two weeks later traces of colour were found in sources on the other side of the island, 14km away, as well as in Lake Melissani.
Of particular interest are the Lake Melissani and the Cave Drogarati which are located at the area of Sami.
Myrtos beach consided one of the most beautiful beaches of the Mediterranian and included in the catalogue of the best beaches of the planet.
In the northern part of Cephalonia is located a beautiful village ,Assos,which belongs to the municipality of Erissos. The village maintains the traditional architecture of the Ionian Islands. A beautiful sightseeing Assos castle that it was built in (1593) on the peninsula of Assos. The large entrance to the castle of Assos survives in good condition.

We absolutely loved our stay at Stavros villa. Beautiful setting stunning house and Stavros and Athina and their family are truly wonderful people. We cannot wait to go back and have already booked two weeks for 2013. Local restaurants and shops are great. Local beaches really beautiful. September 2013 cannot come quick enough !!!!! |

We loved the villa. It is a million miles from soulless modern holiday rentals and full of old Greek (and other) memorabilia. (The villa is large so this doesn't make it feel cluttered, except possibly the kitchen.) All the facilities, inside and out, are lovingly maintained and work well. The shower rooms upstairs are a little basic but perfectly functional. Considering the water situation, the requirement to hold the shower head yourself is reasonable. The villa dates back to the 20s with high ceilings, painted wooden floors and other traditional decoration. It feels (and is!) completely authentic. The small rooms of the period are not ideal for modern living but as mentioned, there's plenty of space. One quibble is a shortage of comfortable inside seating during bad weather. There are lots of places to sit outside with fantastic views from the sterna (rainwater collection well) and front porch. There are also the ruins of an earlier earthquake casualty, a feature of the island's character that adds to the authentic feel of the place. The pool is great for a plunge but too small for swimming. The hosts were charming and attentive but careful not to intrude. Lots of nice touches like homemade olive oil on arrival and other essentials. Thanks Athina and Stavros for a lovely week! |

It is very rare that you find a holiday house you want to return to, Villa Stavros is that house! It is a unique home offering privacy,peace and tranquillity with stunning views. Cleaner than any hotel we have stayed in,with huge rooms,comfortable bedrooms and a country kitchen which was totally equipped with everything. The ouside gardens were glorious with an abundance of plants and sculptures, covered eating areas and excellent pool. The location was ideal with local shops and tavernas nearby. From the moment we made contact to the end of our stay Stavros and Athina welcomed us with open arms and made our stay just perfect! |
