It is hard for someone from Kefallonia to understand Fiscardo and even harder to photograph it. This village, which is situated at the extremity of the Erisos peninsula, seems very distant from the interior. A 'backward world' which until the 1970s took over four hours to reach the capital, Argostoli by bus along a dramatically rough but beautiful road. This book offers a photographic tribute to the village of Fiscardo which offers a insight into a time of transition for the village and includes tales told by the countrymen with the consistency of an ethnologist. Text in English and Greek.
