  • FISKARDO KEFALONIA GREECE! Assos Village & Fortress plus Alaties Beach and Taverna with Views!
    In this video we continue our drive around Kefalonia as we make our way down to Assos, a tiny place connected to the mainland by just one small road over a causeway between the sea. Assos is famous for it’s fortress as well as it’s beach and tavernas but sadly the whole place was closed due to so much storm damage so we couldn’t stay for lunch.
    We continued our drive North and stopped off at Alati Restaurant for a late lunch before spending a bit of time on the beautiful little cove called Alaties beach where we found loads of little fish during a quick snorkel.
    We then finished our day in Fiskardo, the historic harbour village which is one of the most beautiful parts of Kefalonia, it’s at the very northern tip of the island and full of glamorous boats and restaurants with cocktails and seafood everywhere you look! We had a bite to eat and a drink to warm us up before the long winding drive in the dark back to our lovely apartment in Lourdas.

    Such a beautiful Island & the colour of the sea is amazing.
    So pleased there’s not too much damage following the storms, although those cars were wrecks! Views of Assos & fortress were amazing. Really picturesque.
    Great you fitted SO much in a day, incl time to eat at such super places!
    That beach was a must, you had perfect weather & even got to go snorkelling with the fish! Brilliant!
    Colourful Fiskardo was a really Nice end to the day! Not to mention the cake!!!
    Looks beautiful by day & equally charming in the evening! Great place. Lovely to see it all again! Thankyou.

    Those goats (1:18) look just like sheep in North York Moors 😆
    Fun fact: "alati" (14:24) in Estonian (stress on first syllable) means "always", which is a very suitable name for an "all day" restaurant!

    We were there at the same time in the town of Poros in the south east when the storm hit - we had 20-30 birds taking refuge in our room. Two scary days! Off to Assos and Fiskardo in 2 weeks time (been to Assos before) so enjoyed the Vblog - thanks. Been to most Greek islands and Kefalonia is our favourite. Your enthusiasm and objective perspective accurately captured what this island is about.

    • @TideKnotTravellers
      @TideKnotTravellers  Рік тому

      Wow, love that you kept the birds safe. We were so worried about the poor chickens below our apartment but obviously we couldn’t get down there. We have been to a few Greek islands and have yet to find a bad one but you’re right Kefalonia is pretty special! Enjoy Fiskardo & Assos! Highly recommend lunch at Alaties beach, so tasty and a beautiful tiny bay.

    Wow those cars are destroyed, its crazy. Sorry to see the harm there. We have Assos in Turkey too and it used to be a Greek town. It is right by my hometown now. Really enjoy snorkeling off the coast on the Aegean side, would love to do it on the other side facing Italy as well... Steve never snorkeled before coming to Turkey... now he wants to hit up all the great spots around the world too. Beautiful drone shots of Fiskardo and a great way to end the day!

    Wow what an amazing and adventurous day you had. We totally understand why it was your favorite. I can't believe how unconcerned those goats were with traffic. Apparently they enjoy the great views just as much as we do. What a life! The restaurant at Alati was such a great find and the snorkeling sure didn't disappoint. When you are packing in as many activities as you guys are, sometimes a hot chocolate is the proper way to cap off the night, no matter how "uncool" it may be! 😄

    Wow the views on your drive are so stunning! That's so funny how the goats were just chilling along the side of the road with no care in the world. That's crazy and sad to see all the damage caused by the storm. All the stones in the cars and broken windshields were such a scary sight...nature is so powerful.
    Alaties Beach is beautiful...the water is so shimmery and clear. Kirsty, I would be tempted to skip lunch and just hop on in to snorkel as well! But you made the right choice to have a delicious Greek salad beforehand. Fiskardo is so posh with all the fancy mega yachts! You guys really had such a dreamy day!
