The North West coast of Corfu boasts an amazing variety of landscapes from the stunning blues and greens of Ákra Drástis in the west, to the long beach strip of Roda and Acharavi, to the bustling harbour at Kassiopi.
Take your choice - take a leisurely walk along little lanes strwn with meadow flowers, between the orange and lemon groves, or maybe along the promenade. Why not cycle to hidden coves, or take a drive along the coast to sample everything that Corfu has to offer.
From East to West you’ll find:
Kassiopi - A charming little fishing village with many bars, tavernas, restaurants with particularly fresh fish thanks to fishermen, gift shops, supermarkets and A.T.M. machines
Apraos Bay - A tiny resort amid groves of olive and orange trees.
Agios Spiridon Beach - A huddle of bars and shops off the beaten track.
Agía Ekateríni - A decayed monastary set in pleasant woodlands which can be cooling in Summer.
Acharavi and Roda - A long strip of beaches with shops, bars, restaurants and gift shops.
Angela Beach - Tucked away and almost forgotten, ideal for people who want to avoid the crowds.
Astrakeri is an oasis after a pleasant walk from Roda. Accessible via a maze of little lanes, it boasts three very fine fish restaurants.
Yiaolos Beach is a good place to stop, think and appreciate the beauty of the coastal scenery.
Sidari and Peroulades together form a bustling and busy resort with lots of bars and restaurants, and other services like minimarkets and cash points. Just a short walk further and you can explore the rare sandstone formations crumbling into the sea, known as the Canal d’Amour.
Cape of Drastis is for the more adventurous but well worth the trip to gaze into the astonishing blues and greens of its clear waters.
Away from the coast are a myriad of little lanes through which to wander each with their own curiosity and charm.
