The road from St. Efimia and through Pilaros leads to the road to Fiscardo. The most significant sight is that of the beach Myrtos, Cephalonia's landmark, world-famous for its natural beauty. We suggest that you stand above Myrtos to witness this breathtaking view. On the way to Fiscardo you will admire the natural beauty of Cephalonia, ever present in the form of dense vegetation and abrupt precipices. A few kilometres further, we reach the picturesque village of Assos. The region is very attractive, with its characteristic peninsula and the dominant Venetian castle on it being one of the most important sights of Cephalonia. In the same area we see the church of St. Elias, with its wooden carved icon-screen. Assos is a favourite locale among those who prefer peace and quiet, since it embodies the beauty and serenity of Cephalonia.

Continuing our tour we ascend the northern part of the island to the region of Erissos. The landscape here is still wild and green, forming a classic image of peculiar Cephalonia. We pass through the villages of Patrikata, Karia, Komitata, Niohori, Vari, Plagia, Messovounia and Vassilikades. In Vari you can visit the Virgin Mary (Panagia) Church, which is a fine sample of post-Byzantine ecclesiastical architecture. You should by all means see the villages of south Erissos like Konidarata, Magano, Antipata, all having traditional houses.

As we leave these villages, the road leads us to a region of completely different scenery. Yes, we have reached Fiscardo. The seaside fishing village has remained almost intact from the disastrous earthquake of '53. The traditional houses are preserved and generally the atmosphere is one of a period that has gone forever. Houses of traditional architecture, bougainvilleas climbing on iron terraces, colored walls, invite the visitor to stay and get to know Fiscardo better. The region is full of cafeterias, restaurants, with the best known that of "Tassia", and rooms for rent by the sea. In addition, the harbor marina attracts many yacht owners, who prefer Fiscardo among all other places in Cephalonia. For history lovers, the village was named after the pirate Robert Guiscard, who moored in the harbor in 1185, with the purpose of conquering Cephalonia. History proved however, that it was he who was conquered after all since he stayed there until he died. During the Venetian occupation the village went through great development and it was then that most of the noble houses were built, some of which are preserved until today.

In the outskirts of Fiscardo, specifically in Chtouria, we can see the ruins of a 6th c. Basilica at the castle of which, in 1438 the emperor of Byzantium, Ioannis Palaiologos was a guest. Paleolithic stone tools were found in the same region. For swimming, you can visit the beaches of Foki and Emblissi.
