4Fiscardo, Kefalonia

Fiscardo is one of the prettiest harbors in the Ionian Islands, with pastel Venetian houses lining turquoise waters. In July and August, yachts fill the marina and crowds spill into restaurants. Visit in late spring or autumn, and the scene softens. You’ll get to watch fishermen mend nets, dine on fresh lobster pasta without waiting, and admire the reflections of the colorful buildings in peace.
