Don’t get me wrong—Fiskardo is gorgeous, with its colourful harbour and fishing boats that look like they were painted by a toddler with a good eye. But for older couples? It’s a bit too chi-chi. You’ll pay twelve euros for a tiny salad, and the streets are so narrow you’ll sideswipe a millionaire with your suitcase. The resort there, the Emelisse Nature Resort, is stunning but pricey enough to make your pension weep.
However, here’s a joke: What’s the difference between a Fiskardo waiter and a Lassi waiter? About 3 euros per glass of wine. Stick to Lassi for your wallet’s sanity. But do take a day trip to Fiskardo—it’s like visiting a museum where everything costs money and everyone is very pretty.
The Underrated Hero: Skala
If you want a resort that’s truly relaxed, consider Skala, in the south. It’s a tiny village with a long, pebbly beach and a resort called The White Rocks. This place is so calm, you might mistake it for a hospital waiting room—but with better wine. The rooms have sea views, and the restaurant serves grilled octopus that could make a mermaid cry with joy.

What’s surprising? Skala has a history of being a pirate hideout back in the day. Yes, actual pirates buried treasure here. Now, the only treasure you’ll find is a deckchair that doesn’t collapse when you sit down. The downside: you need a car to get anywhere, but the rental company will give you a tiny Fiat that makes you feel like a giant in a clown car.
