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. The panel above and the table below reflect what has actually been confirmed for this year -- check there for the current picture rather than assuming a fixed pattern.

Tips for the Fiskardo–Vassiliki Ferry
- Where a route has both a slow overnight ferry and a fast daytime catamaran, consider whether speed or cost matters more – the conventional ferry is usually significantly cheaper.
- If you are anxious about rough conditions, sit inside at or near the centre of the vessel and avoid looking out of windows at the waves.
- If you need to change your ticket, it is usually cheaper to do so online than at the port ticket office, where a handling fee may apply.
- Sunscreen is mandatory on the exposed deck of a ferry in summer; even a two-hour crossing can result in sunburn if you stand in direct sun.

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.
