Holidays in Fiskardo

Pastel painted houses throw open their traditional green shutters …revealing picture-postcard views. Gin palace yachts anchor-off in the bay, and little flotillas of sailing boats call in to the harbour for lunch at a waterside taverna. The village streets are stuffed with patisseries, bakeries, arty shops and stylish cafes. It's another perfect day for holidays in Fiskardo.

Backing a tree-lined bay with sumptuous seascapes across to Ithaca, this gorgeous place largely escaped the 1953 earthquake, so its stately Venetian houses stand intact, adorned with bougainvillea cascades. Boosted by this historic charm, Fiskardo holidays are that matchless blend of island simplicity and all mod cons. Shingle beaches, fringed with olive groves, flank Fiskardo bay – some within sauntering distance, others accessed only from the sea. So when you've done the obligatory souvenir shopping, you could hire a small motor boat to sunsoak on a secret cove. Then plan your after-dark entertainment – a bar, a smart restaurant, a nightclub … your efforts are always well rewarded on summer holidays to Fiskardo.

The pretty Villa Penelope and Panorama Apartments are lovely for self-catering holidays in Fiskardo. And if it's luxury and romance you're after, the Hotel Emelisse is hard to beat. Plan ahead rather than waiting for the last minute. Holidays to Fiskardo are worth looking forward to …
