This is our first ever hide.
We visited Kefalonia first in 2008 and loved the island so much we
returned to the same spot, Fiskardo, in 2009.
During our very first explore we came across the old lighthouses in
Fiskardo.
On the northern tip of Kefalonia. There are fantastic views all
around you...from right to left... the main island, St Sundays
Island, across the channel to Ithaka. Looking left, you may see the
islands of Meganisi and Lefkada. Beyond these two can be seen, on a
clear day, mainland Greece.
When you’ve found the cache take time to enjoy the views from
the rocky shoreline below the lighthouses.
Geologists will notice the strata and unusual rocks found here.
Those with a little imagination might see the elderly Italian
woman, who we met in 2008, trying to find cockles in amongst the
rocks. Her name was Mary too! Or you may wonder if Poseidon had
anything to do with the fascinating rock formations you can explore
here.
Make sure you take enough water with you on your
visit.
You'll be able to swim off the rocks when you get to them!
Not suitable for pushchairs or those unsteady on rocks. Some
scrambling as you approach the cache.

When you reach GZ, look around you.
The building close by was built around 900 years ago, when the
Norman invader, Robert Guiscard of Sicily came to
Fiscardo.
The co-ords should take you directly to the cache. Guiscard died
of fever in Fiscardo, the village which took his name. Further
info can be found here. Please post
pictures of yourselves near the cache. We’d love to share
your happy holiday memories.
Thanks to our friends in Fiskardo who have kindly offered to
maintain the cache in our absence.
