Starting from Ano (upper) Erisos, you arrive at the villages of Patrikata, Karya, Komitata, Niohori, Vary, Playa and Mesovounia. In Vary, you can see the excellent church of Our Lady with its significant frescoes.
Go down to Kato (lower) Erisos and after you pass through the villages of Konidarata, Mangano and Antypata that stand out with their old houses, you get to Fiscardo.
Here, you think time stood still many years ago before the great earthquake when all of Kefalonia was built with traditional homes. Fine mansions with red tiles on their roofs and small iron balconies show the beauty of that period.
Picturesque taverns by the seaside offer you fresh fish. At the same time see the island of Ithaca across the sea.
History tells us that the village of Fiscardo got its name from the pirate Roberto Guiscardo, who managed to moor at the port of Fiscardo in 1185 and conquered Kefalonia. He stayed there until his death. The port was greatly developed during the Venetian period. It was then that the first mansions still surviving were built. Many sail-boats from all over the world moor here so that the visitors would see the picturesque village. There is also a good ferry-boat service to Ithaca, Astakos and Lefkada.
