Fiscardo is a village located about 54 km N of Argostoli in Erissos in the northernmost end of the island of Kefalonia. The origin of the name comes from Robert Guiscard who was the most remarkable of the Norman adventurers who conquered Southern Italy and Sicily, and spent here a great part of his life in the time of the Frankish (Norman) dominion in Greece.

During the Roman era Fiscardo was called Panormos and was considered an important commercial port and a roman resort.

Fiskardo is the main tourist destination in Kefalonia, mostly because of its natural and safe harbor that attracts every year hundreds of yachts and sailing boats, but also for its perfectly intact nature.
