Is Fiscardo worth staying overnight?

[axariotisxy]

I’ve been looking into Kefalonia as a possible destination and keep coming across photos of Fiscardo. It looks pretty with its colorful buildings, a scenic harbor, and that classic Ionian charm. But I’m wondering, is it actually worth staying overnight there, or is it more of a daytime stop?

Some people say it’s a must for a night or two, while others say it’s too touristy and expensive for what you get. I’m trying to figure out if it would feel relaxing and special in the evenings once the crowds clear out, or if it’s better to base somewhere else and just drive in for a visit.

If you’ve stayed in Fiscardo (or decided not to), I’d love to hear your honest take. Would you go back? Or would you spend more time in places like Assos, Lixouri, or Sami instead?

I haven’t stayed overnight in Fiscardo, but a few friends have, and they loved it, especially in the evenings. During the day, it can feel a bit crowded with day-trippers and yachts, but once things quiet down, the harbor becomes really peaceful and romantic. They said dinner by the water, with the lights reflecting on the bay, felt magical and worth the higher price tag for a night or two.

That said, it’s definitely one of the pricier spots on Kefalonia. If budget is a concern, basing yourself in Assos or even Sami could give you a more laid-back and affordable experience, with easy access to Fiscardo for a day trip. If you enjoy charming towns with a bit of buzz in the evening and don’t mind splurging a little, it’s probably worth the overnight stay, at least once!
