In the northeast of the island, 36 km north of Corfu Town, this picturesque fishing village has retained its character despite its popularity. Overlooking a pretty harbour 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. As evening falls, the village comes alive. The restaurants and cafes by the water become lively and vibrant, attracting both locals and tourists
For the best views, take a hike up to the old Byzantine castle ruins.
