Fiskardo (Greek: Φισκάρδο, also Fiscardo or in the past Viscardo) is a village and a community on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece.
In recent years a small tourist industry has developed, centred on luxury villas in the area around the village.
[citation needed] In late 2006 construction workers building a new hotel near the centre of Fiskardo stumbled upon a perfectly preserved Roman-era grave complex filled with gold jewellery, glass, clay pots and bronze artefacts.
Inside, five burial sites were found including a large vaulted grave and a stone coffin, as well as gold jewellery, pottery and bronze offerings.
It is so perfectly preserved that the 2000-year-old ancient door still swings open smoothly on stone pivots.” During the time of Frankish (Norman) dominion in Greece, the village was renamed Fiskardo after Robertus Wiscardus (Robert Guiscard), Duke of Apulia and Calabria and founder of the Kingdom of Sicily, who died at the Atheras beach in 1085.
