Ferry from Fiskardo (Kefalonia) to Vassiliki (Lefkada)

Fiskardo sits at the northern tip of Kefalonia, one of the few villages on the island that came through the 1953 earthquake intact, and its harbour still has the pastel Venetian houses and narrow quay to show for it. Boats tie up right along the waterfront, a short walk from the tavernas, so there is no separate port terminal to hunt for. Across the water, Vassiliki occupies a long, sheltered bay on the southern coast of Lefkada, better known among windsurfers for its steady afternoon breeze than as a ferry hub, though the crossing itself sits inside the strait and rarely feels exposed. It is a short hop rather than an open-sea passage, which makes it a relaxed way to link the two islands without the fuss of a longer itinerary.

This is one of the busier short crossings in the Ionian during the season, with several sailings spread across the day rather than just a morning and evening boat, so there is usually a departure to fit around your plans. Frequency does ease off a little as summer turns into autumn.

Hiring a car

Do you need a car in Fiskardo?

Not for the village itself; Fiskardo is small and easily walkable around its harbour, with parking near the centre limited in high season. A car earns its keep once you want to see the rest of Kefalonia, since the island's beaches and villages are spread out and public transport is thin; expect narrow, winding roads once you leave the village.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Fiskardo to Vassiliki ferry

• The meltemi wind, a strong north-north-westerly, blows across the central and southern Aegean from roughly July through to early September.
• The sirocco (southerly warm wind from North Africa) brings haze and uncomfortable heat to Greek ports in late spring and early summer; it rarely lasts more than a day or two.
• Booking a multi-leg island-hopping itinerary in one session lets you verify that your connections are realistic before committing.
• If you are prone to seasickness and see a Force 5–6 forecast, take preventive medication the night before as well as on the morning of travel.
