Beautiful and romantic Corfu Town is just fifteen minutes to the south. Here you will find the unspoiltold quarter of the Campiello with its narrow winding streets, the stylish Esplanade where you can relax with a drink or a meal under the trees and evenwatch a cricket match! As well as fashionable shops, museums and galleries.
Just a short drive (or, better still, boat ride) in the opposite direction will take you to Barbati beach, with its excellent restaurant and bathing establishment,and then the beautiful small bay of Agni, with its three famous restaurants much frequented by the jet-set. Another twenty minutes and you will arrive in fashionable Kassiope. For the more adventurous, the wildly beautiful west coast is just twenty minutes away by a wonderfully scenic drive across the island.
Closer to home, the historic village of Aghios Markos, with its single old-fashioned taverna with superb panoramic views, is just five minutes by car, as is the famous Etrusco restaurant, considered possibly the finest in Greece.
