Fikardou has preserved its 18'h and 19th century physiognomy and architecture, as well as its natural environment. The main aesthetic quality is the integrity and authenticity of the village, which is in complete harmony with its environment.
The village is almost deserted, there are two people living there - an old 80-year old man and his 60-year old daughter. While visiting this desolated and old place, one can have a very weird impression of the old souls that have just left the village. Some households look as though people left them a day before. You can see hens living inside the building and pigeons nesting on the roofs. You can take a peek into empty houses through still open windows.
The local government doesn't allow anybody to live here; it's to preserve its old and antique character. But - don't be too much disappointed if you come here - even if the long travel can bring you a seasick sensation - there's a post office in the middle of this village and a small restaurant. The whole village can be walked from one end to the other in less than 5 minutes. On one end of it there's an old monastery that can be visited.
