The name is Fiscardo and the bay, is located in this small port city. During the summer, in the city's harbor berths are many boats, including luxury yachts and fishing boats. There is also a regular ferry service to the islands of Ithaca and Lefkada.

Lots of great restaurants and cafes located on the waterfront. Here you can not only relax and enjoy the excellent Greek cuisine, but also enjoy the beautiful panoramic views of the neighboring island of Ithaca and the white yachts in the port.
