As summer draws to an end *cry* we thought we’d share with you another little piece of paradise we stumbled across on our travels.

Fiskardo is a tiny village located in the north of Kefalonia island (Greece). This colourful, happy little place consists of a handful of restaurants and hotels nestled round a cove of clear-sea. We stayed in a lovely villa just up the road from the main town and had probably the most relaxing week of our lives there. Although there isn’t a huge amount to do there other than float around in a pool and enjoy the town’s loveliness, here’s a little list of suggestions of what to do:

Myrtos beach

1) Located a mile or so down the road from Fiskardo is the famous Myrtos beach, which is as dreamy as it looks! We should probably put a disclaimer here that the road leading up to this beach and onwards to Fiskardo is bloody terrifying. We spent most of the time with our bums clenched, sweating profusely as we made our way here. It is, however, completely worth it!

2) The highlight of our stay here was renting a little boat for the day and setting off on a mini-adventure, with a picnic, round the coves that can only be accessed by sea. Chugging along these coves was probably one of the best travel memories we’ve squirreled away so far and is definitely a must if you do visit here!

Cove hunting!

3) Assos village: this secluded village sits at the bottom of a windy road (more bum clenching) and sits in a horse-shoe shape round a clear sea. We came here for an evening and fell in love with this sleepy little place. The fresh seafood is delicious and the sunset over the little bay is beautiful.

The only downside to Fiskardo is the cost, we’re not going to lie, it’s a bit of a killer price wise. This was explained in the evenings, when we would watch little dinghies of glamorous people arrive ashore from their private yachts…we don’t have a private yacht. To confirm this, when aboard our tiny boat for the day, we chugged past a yacht called Pelorus once owned by Roman Abramovich. It was hideously large and confirmed that we were probably the poorest people in Fiskardo. Don’t let this put you off though, it’s worth it, even if you live off bread and water for a few months.
