After leaving ‘rat bay’ we came through the straits of Meganissi, a beautiful channel between Lefkas and Meganissi, heading towards Cephalonia. The wind picked up to slightly more than a stiff breeze and we enjoyed a cracking sail to the port of Fiskardho.
We managed to find a great mooring on the town quay in this beautiful town where captain Corelli’s Mandolin was filmed. It is the only town which wasn’t destroyed during the earthquake of 1953. What a spot! During the day there was much commotion on the quayside as boats were moved to try to make space for a 50 metre superyacht which had engine trouble.
We decided to treat ourselves to a meal ashore and enjoyed a cocktail on the balcony of ‘Theodora’s Bar’ before eating traditional Greek food at a restaurant on the quayside. A brilliant evening.
The following morning we took a stroll around the headland to the Venetian lighthouse and the ruins of a Norman Church. Fiskardho really is a beautiful place, one of the nicest places we have visited so far.
Tomorrow Ithaca – Homeland of Odysseus!…..
