Outside the front entrance door leading into the Villa is a covered area where the brick built BBQ and outdoor seating is to be found. The natural shade from the grape vines will keep out the day’s heat from the sun whilst you dine ‘Al fresco’ style underneath them. Villa Yannakis is all on one level ‘bungalow’ style making it easier for families with small children and the infirm who cannot manage steps too easily.

A covered balcony leading from the lounge french doors offers sun most of the day and shade should you want to relax out of the sun and siesta or read a book.

There is private ‘off road’ car parking (either side of the tree!) for 2 small cars approached from behind the Villa, and steps leading down to the pool area and beyond, Villa Yannakis. This villa is set in the olive groves.

The swimming pool is approx 9m in length by 5m wide with a depth of 1m at the shallow end, 1.60m in the middle and 2.50m at the deep end.

Villa Yannakis is equipped with a modern kitchen comprising of a full electrical oven, extractor fan, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer table and chairs.

There are two sets of french doors leading from the combined lounge and dining area on to the covered balcony, with views across to Gouvia Marina and Corfu Town in the distance. The lounge area is small however offers plenty of seating with a TV & DVD to keep you entertained!

The two twin bedded rooms are to the rear of the house overlooking the swimming pool and both have built in floor to ceiling wardrobes with a dressing table, mirror and chair.

The shower room is located near the two twin bedrooms and handy for if you have visitors to the Villa. It consists of a shower, WC, basin and mirror. The other bathroom is en-suite to the master double bedroom shown below and has a full sized bath with hand held shower hose over it, WC, basin and mirror.

This master double bedroom is situated at the front of the house with french doors opening onto the balcony that overlooks Corfu Town. It has built in wardrobes with dressing table, mirror, chair and a safety deposit box! Entrance here is also to the en-suite bathroom.

As you will understand, you are situated in a village here, with locals who pass the time of day with each other upon greeting in the middle of the road, noisy cicada’s in the heat of the day humming in the near by olive tree’s and an occasional car driving through the village – this is all Corfiot village life! And is a MUST to be experienced!!

Accommodation Summary:-
A well equipped Greek traditional accommodation with simple furnishings but well looked after. The owners live across the road from the villa so if you do need them for something and they can oblige, they certainly will, but unobtrusively!

Here are a few of the nearby bays to Villa Yannakis:-

Nissaki Beach

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.

Barbati Beach

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. 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.

Kaminaki Bay

Agni Bay

Agni literally translates as ‘unspoilt’ in Greek and this describes the bay perfectly. Accessed by a narrow and winding road, the drive is well worth the effort as the bay is beautiful, with crystal clear waters surrounded by olive and cypress trees. A choice of 3 tavernas and a snack bar with sunbeds and umbrella’s all on the beach front.

Yaliskari Bay

The next small bay to Agni is Yaliskari Bay; it is completely undeveloped and has excellent swimming and snorkeling here. You can reach it on foot from Agni over a track to the rock formations.

Nearby is the ‘Chapel of Agios Arsenius’ mentioned by Lawrence Durrell in “Prospero Cell”. Below it is a small underwater cave for the more adventurous snorkelers and swimmers.

Krouzeri Beach

Krouzeri Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Corfu. Therefore it has the BLUE FLAG of the European Nation.  Krouzeri Beach combines magical colours, flaming sunsets, luxurious vegetation, (lush green even in the height of summer) a riot of radiant flowers and colourful blooms, centuries old olive groves and rich pergolas. Krouzeri has a long beach (pebble and sand) offering safe swimming, many water sports and diving. Beachside tavernas provide welcome refreshments to those enjoying the beach and excellent snorkeling. The nearby Nissaki Beach Hotel offers a swimming pool which is open to non-residents, a restaurant and bar and, during the evening a low-key disco.

Kalami Bay

Beautiful Kalami Bay is renowned as the place where Lawrence Durrell wrote 'Prospero's Cell' in the 1930's. The book brought Corfu to the attention of the English and so began their love affair with the island and their friendship with its people. Despite its fame, this delightful village retains a traditional and peaceful atmosphere and is geared very much towards anyone hoping for a quieter, family holiday. Kalami does have a small number of bars and several excellent tavernas so you will never be short of good places to eat and drink. There are also a few craft shops and mini-markets so, without being overdeveloped, Kalami can provide you with everything you need during your stay. The beach is mainly shingle and slopes into sparkling waters, ideal for swimming and snorkeling. You can also hire pedaloes, canoes and boats with which to explore the 'secret' coves and beaches that are to be found all along the coast.

Kouloura Harbour

Kouloura is a small pretty fishing village not a resort. Here there is a working harbour, where many of the locals moor there boats. The view of the harbour is probably one of the most painted in the area. The main house is owned by the Agnelli family as their holiday home. Kouloura is an excellent example of a small traditional Greek bay that has not been adversely affected by tourism.
At the other end of the bay there is a small beach named ‘Chouchoulio Beach’ ideal for swimming and sunbathing. A walk around the harbour is interesting, but to see the best view of Kouloura is to drive or walk up to the main road turn right and there is an excellent photo point of the harbour and views across to Albania. There is one fish Taverna in Kouloura, it also serves some meat dishes but no bars!
