interested to see more from Corfu than sun and sea, Pink House and Ano Korakiana should be at the top of
your list!

Being part of a village, there are of course neighbours, but their interest in you will never be anything but
friendly and discreet.

The Village of Ano Korakiana

Ano Korakiana is a village with a rich cultural heritage, with many wonderful churches with wall frescoes, traditional Corfiot houses and picturesque narrow lanes. In Ano Korakiana's coffee bars the people retain centuries old codes of social conduct, and the Greek coffee, accompanied by a liqueur (koum kouat of course) has a special taste.

Ano Korakiana, 18 kilometers from Corfu Town, has a population of 1400 and many traditional-style buildings.
It boasts a Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1958, underlining musical traditions which began in 1623 with the foundation of the Mantolinatas of the Pope. Out of its 37 churches, the ones dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the
Archangel Michael and Saint Athanasios are of great interest to Byzantine scholars. The local school contains a small folklore collection.

This is a ‘working village’ so expect to see friendly cats, sheep, goats, hens and the occasional Greek Lady with her Donkey

The pleasant hillside village of Ano Korakiana was the birthplace of loannis Kapodistrias, the first president of Greece. Born into a noble family in 1776, the young Kapodistrias studied medicine and philosophy in Padua between 1794 and 1797 before returning to Corfu to practice medicine and found the country's first medical association in 1802. His first taste of public office was as secretary of state to the short-lived Septinsular state, which was formed under the protection of Russia during the first decade of the nineteenth century.

Traditional building of the Agricultural Cooperation, Church of Archangel Michael, and folklore museum,
all in the centre of Ano Korakiana.

Leaving the village and heading towards Sokraki, you come upon the church of the miracle working Saint Isidoros, built in the 14th century upon a rock with a marvelous view out over the surrounding area.

Sokraki with its population of 309 inhabitants is a mere hamlet. In Sokraki there's a nice informal place to eat and have a drink called Emily's (which also has supplies) This well made but narrow old road runs north from the village of Ano Korakiana up to the village of Sokraki high on the side of the eastern end of the Troumpetta range in Corfu. It has approx twenty hairpin bends and is very well made.

The nearest beach to Pink House is at Ipsos:

Ipsos

Ipsos is situated on the east coast of Corfu, 14 km north of Corfu Town, and has a perfect mixture of beach sports and nightlife, combining attractions such as water skiing and parascending with great clubs, bars and restaurants. In other words - there's something to suit all tastes. Ipsos is one of the liveliest resorts on Corfu, stretching out along one kilometer of pebbly but gently shelving beach. The natural curve of the bay of Ipsos is a scenic setting, with fine views along the coast to Corfu Town, the green hills inland and the mountains of mainland Greece and Albania. The resort mainly comprises a broad, straight main road just above the beach which curves into a tiny harbour. Its main appeal lies in the availability of water sports, which include pedaloes, para-gliding, water-skiing, windsurfing and boat hire. The sea is clean; Ipsos has been awarded a European Blue Flag.

Barbati Beach

Barbati is perched at the foot of Mount Pantokrator, amidst green cypress trees; it has breathtaking views across to Corfu Town on the right and Albania on the left. The sheer, rocky backdrop secludes Barbati from the rest of the island, giving it an isolated, hidden feel. The village also offers a small selection of bars, tavernas, supermarkets, launderette and souvenir shops, with a newly built church in the centre of the village.
Barbati took its name from the mansion of the noble Barbatis family and its beach is a white stretch of shingle against an azure sea. Wonderfully situated to provide whatever you are looking for in a holiday: You can laze in the sun, explore the coast by boat, take part in all kinds of water sports and enjoy the good restaurants. 

Nissaki

The name Nissaki (or Nisaki) means "little island" and according to the Corfiot’s, was the name given to the small island that was joined with the mainland caused by many years of piled up rubble from the old nearby query. That original island is now joined to the land and occupied by the ‘Mitsos Taverna’. Nissaki is the first of the pretty little coves nestling at the base of Mount Pantokrator which you reach when heading north from Corfu Town. A small side lane leads off the main road and peters out by the sea where a handful of tavernas are perched on a small rocky headland which juts into the crystal clear waters. On one side of the headland is a miniature pebbly beach and on the other a newly built harbour where a few small fishing boats jostle with a handful of little motor boats for hire. There are a handful of traditional tavernas all serving local Corfiot dishes, a couple of mini markets and the village Church.

South of Ipsos: to Dassia

Situated at a distance of 13 kilometers north of Corfu town, Dassia has a good beach with safe swimming and a host of amenities in the lively resort including some excellent restaurants, cafes, tavernas and lively bars. Dassia Beach has been awarded a blue flag. You will also find sea sport facilities, including a diving center, suitable both for experts and beginners in the sport. Access from the capital, Corfu Town, is possible by public buses (the blue ones) with regular service, by taxi and by rented or private cars and motorbikes. The nightlife of Ipsos is only a couple of miles away.

Evening entertainment in Dassia is relaxed, laid back and varied. There are enough bars to keep everyone happy, but Dassia is not a lively nightclub resort as such. There are no clubs, but there are two very lively disco bars that are open well into the early hours. There are also lively bars on the beach. Shakes have nightly entertainment including a great live band and other live entertainment, karaoke and quizzes. The Drunken Duck, just a few doors down from Shakes, offers Greek dancing and plate smashing. Ipsos, where the late night party people head for is the next resort along and only a short taxi ride away.
