In the northeast of the island, 36 kilometers north of Corfu Town, this traditional fishing village has retained its character despite its popularity.
Overlooking a pretty harbor filled with wooden fishing boats, it offers a choice of seafood tavernas and cafés, which are popular with affluent Brits and Italians, some of whom have villas here.
Calm and unhurried, it is especially noted for its numerous small coves with white pebble beaches and amazing turquoise blue sea.
The best way to explore this stretch of coast is to hire a small boat. For amazing views hike up to the ruined Byzantine castle on the hillside behind the village.
