Herodotus mentions a town called Panormus in the 5th century BC, this is thought to be Fiskardo. In 2006 a Roman grave complex was discovered in excellent condition. Grave artefact's found at the site include gold jewelery, pots and bronze artefact's. These are thought to be unique for the Ionian islands, one reason could be that they were not discovered by grave robbers. Other archaeological discoveries nearby, include a Roman theater, baths and houses The island of Kefalonia suffered massive destruction during an earthquake in 1953. Ninety percent of the buildings below Fiskardo were damaged but here in the village ninety percent survived giving a glimpse of the islands historic architecture.
