Fiskardo, Cephalonia Island Cruises

Fiskardo, Cephalonia Island Cruise Port

• With a town surrounded by excellent beaches, it's hard to pick just one. Emblisi Beach stands out because it's a little less touristy, and you won't find a ton of amenities. What you will find is a gorgeous view with crystal-clear water where you can watch the fish swim, and olive trees to provide shade from the sun.
   
• The Venetian Lighthouse of Fiskardo provides an excellent view of the harbor and of nearby Ithaca. There's a newer lighthouse nearby which isn't nearly as decorative; past the new lighthouse, you'll find the ruins of Byzantine basilica that date back to around the 6th century.
   
• When it's time to get those land legs back, hike the Cypress Trail. While not particularly difficult, you'll definitely need good walking shoes. The path will take you through a small settlement, past the St. Gerasimos church, and through multiple other sights (including the Foki beach for a quick swim) before ending at the Tselentata village.
   
• For adventures under the Ionian Sea, the Fiskardo Divers will take you to see caves, wrecks, reefs, and a downed Bristol Beaufort World War II bomber plane. Thanks to the clear waters here, you can get dive to an amazing 130 feet.
