Anthi Taverna Nissaki Corfu

But dead easy to find, its the very last taverna going towards Roda. I would describe it as a mezze taverna, they have an extensive menu with many small dishes which we used to share between us.

Katerina and Andreas were very helpfull in explaining the different dishes and giving advice.

I have started using the 'My Travel Cash' card - it came recommended from the Money Saving Expert website as it has no ATM fees and 1% cash back. It's a Mastercard so it is accepted at the Tavernas and shops in AG Steph. Used to have the Monarch card but they started charging €1.25 for cash withdrawls  - No thanks, I like to get at my cash for free thanks. Take a look at the money saving expert website - they always have different deals for pre-paid holiday cards.

All the best

Some lovely little houses in Afiones with courtyard gardens, has to be one of our favourite little villages

If you go to Lakones, not only go to Boulis for an evening meal, but during the daytime, call in at the bakery next door, for coffee, wonderful cakes and a fabulous view on the terrace overlooking Paleo.

Whilst in Doukades, call in at the Taverna Elizabeth for a meal. Now I have to admit that on first sight it is not the sort of place that seems an obvious choice, just like their front room really. You can sit inside or sit at the tables on the edge of the road [you may have to move the table and chairs if a large vehicles comes through!!!] while you watch the world go by and also get a feel of Corfu village life. But I can assure you the food is fantastic and well worth the visit.

For any real ale lovers, look out for bottles of Corfu Brewery beer, as my grandson would say, "It's lush". I believe it is available in a few places on draught, but I've not seen any in Paleo. Brewery visits last year were available on a Saturdays 12.00 - 17.00, near to San Stephanos [W]

 

33 sleeps to go! 

You are absolutely right Elaine (as usual ), the climb is well worth it for the view, the Taverna and all that goes with it!

Cant believe it took us 20 years to finally go there - and all because we took a couple of friends with us and they persuaded us. It was their first visit to Paxos and they did more in 2 weeks than we have probably done over all our visits.

 

I am definitely into Paxos chill; eating, drinking and people watching

You do need to moor offshore and swim/wade in. There were no buoys there in June but it is expected (and frowned upon if you dont) - its common sense and much fairer to other beach and water users not to have to negotiate boats and running outboards. You can, if its clear, drop off and pick up your passengers on the small 'jetty' at the northerly side of the beach. At least that way, only you get a soaking 

 

Only 33 days 22 hrs 58 mins until we arrive (unless the Igoumenitsa ferry changes times)

I have a pre-loaded Euro card too and have had no problems with using it in the tavernas in Agios Stephanos, as well as occasionally using it at the ATM in Kassiopi.  Very handy because you can check your balance via text or online and load extra money on via same route when running short.  Only thing is whether Greece wil still be in the euro in September (we go at beginning of October) and what that will mean for all this.

Cheers, David

May see you. Have a great time

Haven't seen dolphins recently, but they always seemed to follow the old ferry in the 70s, or is that just the romantic in me??

 

I will report on Helen's hat choice in September!!!

Helen - Is that little Taverna the one on the right as you come into Magazia after you have passed the Fire Station and Lorry Park? It always looks too much of a locals Taverna. I haven't stopped there as I feel that I would be intruding! BUT - If I had the right hat! Any sugestions for this year?

 

We are staying at The Old Vinyard again this year. The owners opened their own Taverna last year and were very proud of it. it's well worth a visit just for the view over the Island to the Mainland. They were not fully open when we visited last year and it was a bit Fawlty Towers but I'm sure they have got it running now. It is on the 'main' road coming down from Fontana to Loggos near Zernatika.

 

One thing I'm still hoping to see again is Dolphins. We saw two on our first visit about 10 years ago as we were coming in towards Lakka on the Christina. Would love to see some again as we did off Skopelos. Cruised along for about 15 minutes close to a pod of about 6. Then noticed how far we were out to sea!!

 

We were in Kalami 2 weeks ago stunning and great to see the locals clearing the beach, met some very nice people and walked miles along the coastline even saw the Agni Taverna! We hope to be settling in the area in 16 months so if anyone knows of any long term lease/rentals please let us know. Off to Amazon to look at the book looks great good luck with it. 

The Long and winding road is nearly at an end!

My absolute favourites are Agni Taverna for a really special meal. Roumelis near Nisakki for brilliant meze's. Bavias just into Sidari, near Diellas supermarket for authentic Greek food and hospitality. Pizza Romano, also in Sidari near the green by the church. Again, lovely Greek cuisine, amazing pizzas and Greek hospitality.

Must say though, that we eat regularly at the only taverna in our village, Mon Amour, or as known by the locals, Kokkinos. All the friends that we have taken there for a meal always want to go back. Say no more!!! 

The Paleokastritsa Hotel is raised above the main road, looks impessive though I have heard both good and bad reports. It really is find out for yourself. Even though you are all inclusive at the hotel, explore the numerous excellent restaurants, bars and tavernas.

Only 39 sleeps to go to Paleo! 

 

We've wanted to return ever since as we didn't get to do any of the things we planned. 

 

Finally I have just booked to return next year and can't wait

 

As others have said the views are fantastic and sitting at a taverna right on the beach watching the boats was special.

There is only the one taverna at Imerolia.  If you are coming from Kassiopi it is on the right down one of those short, steep slopes.

 

Happy eating, Deedee. 

 

I totally respect you comments, each to his (or her) own. Not everyone likes the same things, that is being human.

 

We go back to the Adonis and Asonitis each year for many reasons, among which are:

we love Kalami, a quiet charming village:

we love the views from the room balconies, waking up and taking in the view on the first morning is special: 

we love the people, we have made many friends for life in Kalami, both holidaymakers and locals (and Woody):

we love the tavernas which we feel are excellent:

we love the fact there is 'little to do', suits us just fine:

we go on about the decor etc as we regard the place itself as a friend and talking about it makes us feel we are there:

 

I could go on....

 

 

Many people return  again and again to he A&A because they love the place and it gives good value for money but of course you know this as you have been there. The A&A is also probably the cheapest place around this area and as cheap as most tourist placs around Corfu to eat but of course you also know this as you have been there. You also mention the bar but the comments are about the reception area which is across the road from the bar but you know this as you have been there?? No, there is not a lot to do other than relax, eat and drink in the quality tavernas in the area but for many the peace and quiet and fine food is what they go for.

It sounds like you do not like this type of holiday so it's better for you to stick to the busier more commercialised  resorts where there is always some entertainment available.

Kalami, along with most other places on the N/E coast, is a sleepy, small village and I hope it remains so.

 

We have tried many restaurants in Corfu and could recommend many. However, we stay regularly in San Stephanos NE and our favourite is Kaparelli Taverna. The food is great and you will be hard pressed to get a better welcome or service.

 

I have stayed at the Telemachos Hotel for the past 22 years, sometimes twice a year so that may tell you something about it!!

 

You must bear in mind that the hotel is 2 star only and therefore, do not expect the standards of anything higher. We have always 'taken things as they come' in Corfu and as you can guess, have been very comfortable with everything about it. The staff have always been exceptionally helpful and friendly and we look forward to our coming visit on the 21st of May.

 

As we only stay bed and breakfast, we have a couple of great places where eat in the evening within a few minutes walk of the hotel.  The first is 'La Casa' and Alexandros, which is further along the main road but still within an easy walk. The other is called Mam-A-Taka which is on the other side of the road before you get to La Casa. There are several other tavernas in Dassia, but of course we have our 'favourites'.

 

The road down from the Telemachos is fairly steep but after you have walked it once or twice you get used to it.

 

If there is anything else you would like to know about the hotel, please let me know.

 

I am sure you will enjoy your holiday and will want to return next year.

 

Pam... 

There is also a good fish taverna further up the green towards the traffic lights but cant remember the name - it has green lights set amongst the grass.

In a different price range is a restaurant called Pomodoro where the chef came third in the Greek version of MasterChef. Very good food and a nice atmosphere - in the summer you sit in the little square outside.

Bit different in Greece - but there is a crepe restaurant near to the Venetian Well, run by a lovely family very traditionally furnished and lovely food - again a nice atmosphere.

Hi Wereangels

 

I have to second David's recommendation above.  Last year we were looking for somewhere in Lakones other than where the coach trips go (nothing against those establishments, just that we've been there, done that) and another site member recommended Boulis.  We enjoyed our first lunch there so much we drove over from Kalami twice more during our fortnight. 

 

We also like Elizabeth's at Doukades, could sit outside there all day watching life come through the square whilst we eat.  One of the things we intended to do last year was go up there in the evening.  We didn't manage to fit it in so it's still on the to do list.  Two other places we tried for the first time last year and intend returning to were Mon Amour at Kavadades (inland from Sidari) where we had some really good rollo and the taverna at Imerolia which was on par with Taverna Agni price wise and was a lovely experience with the sea food, the setting & the view.

 

A few years ago we had a delicious, indulgent, sea food lunch at Akrogiali at St Georges North.  It was a bit hair raising to get there but the lunch was worth it.

 

Almost forgot George's on Almyros beach.  Another place we say we'll get to in the evening but haven't done yet.  We didn't eat there last year but have had some delicious lunches there in previous years.  Also on our do list are Zephyros at Almyros and Roummeli at Nissaki, both of which we've seen well recommended in the last couple of years but we haven't managed to get to either yet.  So many possibilities but unfortunately there are only so many meals one can eat in two weeks.

 

Deedee

 

We have also been to the Panorama - possibly a bit more authentic than the more visitor-oriented places round the coast.  Or carry on past there a way and there certainly used to be a very rustic one, the School House, but haven't been there in a few years.

 

Good luck.

 

David

Sea conditiones permitting will try to get to the Taverna this year. Might take me a while to climb up those steps though!

 

Relatively easy to get to, in the hills way above Kalami, not in walking distance though. 

I will wait with bated breath for your taverna reviews!  Economy Car Rentals - are they a Lesbos based company?  What made you go with them.  Everyone on TA talks about one company, not that one though. 

think i may hold on a few more days before buying my euros rate has improved a couple of cents in the last week. i have a feeling credit cards will be even less welcome this year.

wondering if i'll be buying euros at all for september or next year?

car is booked up got a decent price from economycarrentals at Β£110 for 4 days and fully comp inc cdw etc with no excess payments or extras to pay when i get there. 2 weeks meet and greet parking for Β£65 never been so cheap!

guide books and maps all packed in the carry on, they are a joy to find for lesvos very few available and all pricey and none of them much use. best to buy when you get there. funnily enough our guide for kalymnos is totally out of print now as it was published in 1986 has some pictures of how kalymnos was then! saw it on amazon at Β£45 may flog it to them!!

We moor up at Vrika beach on the left side to go to the Tavernas but looks like you go in as far as you can, lift outboard then wade ashore on Voutoumi which looks the best way to Bella Vista?

 

Have not visited the Olive Press Museum near Magazia yet.

Sharon

 

Two tavernas that haven't been mentioned are Anthi's where the choice is bigger and the Olive Press although we haven't used the latter for a while.

Totally agree with you. Agni Taverna only opened last Monday, we were there with friends! We need to give them all time to get things sorted. 

 

(Lots of car hire places about. Kriopigi Cars we have used and they were good. We have also used ones from the airport.

You could visit Vergina which is about 3-4 hours away. Brilliant museum built around tomb of Philip of Macedonia and really unique.

Locally on Kassandra. Loutra at the end is nice. Go to Villa Stasa for lunch, a Greek taverna with a fantastic view, good prices and portions, and not many foreign tourists. Also at Villa Stassa you can go down to the sea and snorkel around the rocks etc. Lovely location and in June will not be too busy.

Drive all around Kassandra. You can do it in a day easily (it is only about 1-1 1/2 hours drive round) and see most places. Paliori an old Greek village, nothing much there but nice to drive round the back. Agia Paraskevi is a lovely old Greek village with a taverna and a couple of cafes. Mainly Greek people go there and there are some lovely houses. On your side (as opposed to our side!) there is Pefkochori, Hanioti - a tourist village, but nice to visit and people watch with lovely beach and lots of bars and tavernas and snack bars, Polichrono - nice village with a lovely beach and good village centre. Kriopigi - set on the road, but walk up to the old square and eat at Anthoulas (evenings only) for food not found elsewhere. On the main road Sweet Coffee Shop for crepes, home made pizza and much more, and a lovely sea view balcony just opened, owned by our friends Morfy and Sakis, they will make you feel welcome. Also on main road Casablanca bar for a drink and chat with Debbie (Welsh) and her husband Tony (Greek). They do English snacks, but it is so friendly to go for a coffee or drink there.

Kallithea - mainly Russians there nowadays, and we personally do not like it much anymore. However Ouzerie Paramethi is a nice taverna on the main road, although it has tables at the side and back and is set out very Greek style, although obviously it is a tourist taverna. Having said that, the food is very good.

Kassandrea, the main town and market is on a Tuesday. Quite a few new shops opened up of late, but mainly Greek shoppers apart from Market day. Nice to sit out for a coffee and some cheese pie.

Siviris, look past the dull entrance which has come about this year as they chopped all the trees back after a flood last September. But go down to the jetty and look to your left. Thin stretch of beach, hardly ever full til August, walk even further along and round a corner to find two isolated bays.

Fourka, well we personally do not like Fourka beach, but many people do. Go down and take a look and decide for yourselves. Mola Kaliva, where we live. Two supermarkets, two tavernas, two snack bars and a bar. Pebbly shingle beach but never full and the cleanest clearest water.

Nea Skioni. Nice fishing village with a newly built marina, not quite finished mind you. Nice Greek village but just starting to build more and there is a new hotel there now. Set along the waterfront, nice and easy going.

Then you can go round Sithonia. Lots of nice places, a bit more isolated and more beautiful. Nice to visit, but we would not live there 7 months like we do here as everywhere is so far apart. Vourvourou is beautiful, so is Nea Marmaras. Lots of other nice villages and seaside towns, but to go from Kassandra and drive all round, with perhaps a two hour beach stop and one hour lunch stop will take you a full day. Worth it though.

If your nerves can stand it, drive to Thessaloniki A wonderful city. You can find parking but it is expensive. Visit Aristotles Square, the old market and the port area.

You can drive up to Arnea in the mountains where they make Flokati rugs. We have not been up for over ten years, but hear it is still beautiful and rugs still made, although perhaps they are more tourist savvy now !

Sani - (Sani area is lovely although we feel it has been spoilt by the hotels taking over one of the best beaches ever).

More villages on the way to Thessaloniki, Nea Potidea nice place, Nea Fokea nice fishing village. Go to Nea Moudania (Wed is market day). Old Greek working town, nothing flashy but a few nice shops and lots of everyday shops - the fishmongers are amazing to look at ! Bigger than it appears at first glance you need to walk up and down every road, and the main road down to the sea, to see all the shops.

Thats enough to digest for now I think. Let me know if you want to know anything else.)

 

We would definately recommend the visit to Vergina. Looks nothing from outside but very interesting museum. Google it.

Also on our way back, we saw a sign for a monastry. Took the road, which went on and on. Very bendy. Ended at a monastry. Turned out to be the monastry of St.John the Baptist. 3 chapels, a rock one to a more modern one. It overlooked a ravine absolutely fantstic view, and we were even given refreshments by the priest! This was found purely by accident by following a brown tourist sign(I Think)

It really is possible to drive round the peninsula that easily. from where you are staying head south and just follow the road round. We did find that at Pefkohori you get a lot of weekenders influx from Bosnia, and the place got busy! So may want to do it midweek.

History wise the peninsula is not like Corfu. The development seems much more modern and if you are looking for traditional greek it may not be that easy, that is what we found. But don't let me put you off. We had a lovely time.

Also note the driving around Thessaloniki is not for the faint hearted! They come at you all directions, and you really need to be aware.

 

If I think of more I'll post

Jeff

 

 

 

 

Many Thanks

I stayed in Kriopigi last June at The Kassandra Bay Hotel. Kriopigi itself is a small village on the main road with an older part behind the petrol station, there is a village square with a really good taverna in it.

Most of the places to stay are on the winding road down to the beach which is about a 20 minute walk down. There is a small train that runs to the beach owned by the bigger hotel on the main Road anyone can use that as well for 1 euro I think.

If you don't want to hire a car the bus service is good to visit other resorts in both directions some livelier  than Kriopigi, or you can walk along the beach if you take a right turn for miles and miles passing various parts which have sunbeds which you can use if you purchase a drink.

Turn left at the beach and you have the most beautiful strip of beach backed by mountains and what I can only describe as a gorge opening on to the beach.

Truly stunning area, the only downside was the dreary journey from the airport, nothing nice to look at, unlike Corfu which is breathtakingly staggering whichever way you look and wherever you go.

Hope that was of help.

Where are you staying by the way?

Unfortunately we haven't seen anybody famous there, only heard stories. We were told that George was seen in drinking in Dimitrie's Taverna along with his wife who didn't seem to be bothered that he was. Obviously we've all heard the stories of British politicians enjoying the hospitality of the Rothschilds, and we were even told that the Queen once stayed in Kalami, but not sure of the validity of that one!

You never know, if my book becomes a best seller, people might start looking out for me! Lol

It's possible you were on the road that  takes you to the Ropa Valley, Agios Ionnias and also Corfu town, this is were Aqualand is situated. There is a military establishment on that road. If you were staying in Kontokoli you may have taken the road off the main drag that is signposted for Danilia Village to get there, I have seen various small tavernas on that road but couldn't identify the one in the picture. Hope this may be of some help.

Today being May Day, we decided to spend the day in San Stephanos, sitting by the beach at Kaparelli. All was quite quiet when we arrived, ordered toast and jam for breakfast, could'nt get to our favoured table because most of the tables were occupied by crews from a flotilla moored off the jetty, getting their instructions for the day's sail.

Once they had left, we moved tables, I collected wild flowers (broom and vetch) for Wendy to make her traditional May Day reath to hang above our front door.

 Then the rush started, I think half of Corfu Town was persuaded out due to the fantastic weather together with the holiday atmosphere, for lunch and a chance to let the kids run riot along the beach and venture into the sea.

 

I can't remember seeing the road more clogged with cars, or the tavernas busyer, other than the height of the season.

I've no doubt Kerasia was just as busy.

Good news for struggling businesses, lets hope it continues.

Bob

Money saved on transfers is more money in the taverna owners pockets.(well,it is in my case )

David

 

This thought came about from someone I work alogside, that had been going to Spain for the last 40 years or so 60+ set in their ways  and me going on about Greece and how wede found it many many years ago after going Spain.

 

Well

Theyve just come back from a week in Athens.

They hadnt told me they were going as Ide have gone on and on about this coffee shop that taverna and where to shop.

 

Well,

pleased to say they loved the place, the people, the atmosphere, and quote "wished wede listened to you years ago "theyve booked Agistri after going on a day trip from Pireaus"

They had got a terrific deal through their local travel agent in Manchester, flight, 3 star+ in the centre of Athens but did their own thing after the first 3 days as the tours became predictable, this site, then perticular cafe, obvious the rep got a back hander and not with to T/O choice ille bet.  They ended up in Pireaus after listening to the hotel porter who had a "friend" in the port the old just ask for Spiros the shipping agent type of assistance   But it worked for them ...

They took "Spiros:s advice and thats how they ended up on Agistri.

Well another convert to Greece allbeit not Corfu but hey Ille work on that for next year.

Hi Kernowman,

 

I didn't realise it was that far, however we have walked in different places 15 kms in a day, so we don't do too bad and I certainly am not fit, but I don't mind walking about in alot of heat.  I use the car at home so never really really walk anywhere.

 

Regards,

Pegasus.

We have been with Dino previously and very convenient it is.  However, one time when we wanted to go at a different time (for lunch), we asked in the travel shop up the stairs next to the little supermarket and they got a taxi boat out for us within a few minutes and it took us to Agni and then came back and collected us later. Taverna Agni also has a speedboat taxi which collects from and returns to Agios Stephanos twice an evening (by reservation) - times are on their Corfu NE map on this site.

David

Thank you...

Carlos..

 

1  Stroll through the olive groves (yes, done may times!)

2  Watch the sunset from one of the east coast sunset bars (no, never done that)

3  Walk to Tripitos Arch (yes, did this in our early Paxos days, but didn't have the nerve to actually walk across it  )

4  Lunch at Monodendri beach (no, but I've had many a lunch at the beachside tavernas on Levrechio and Mongonissi, so does that count instead?)

5  Coffee and people-watching in Gaios Square (yes, many times)

6  Hire a boat and go over to Anti Paxos for lunch (kind of - done both separately, but never gone to Anti Paxos in a hire boat)

 

So, what does everyone else think of this list and what would you add to it?  Some things I'd add would be:-

 

1  Ride the bus along Loggos harbour

2  Walk up to Loggos Mill and Lakka Point for the best views of the two villages

3  Most important of all - do nothing!  Just relax and let Paxositis take over

Thank you so much for your reply! 

We head out on the 9th July - 23rd July and I literally cant wait!

OKk thats fab, I will maybe take a few spare just in case if I have the space left in my case! OK good tip on the soap bar, will give that a try.

You are right, holidays most certainly arent for cooking, Im more worried about being able to have a good cuppa and choccie biscuit ha!!! 

OK thats fab info about shops, my last trip was only 1 week so only visited Lakka once.  

Fingers and toes crossed its the hydrofoil, not looking forward to a long boat trip in the heat if thats what they put us on!!

Oh thats good about Parga trips, I was wondering if that would be a possibility!! I have heard about Monadendri beach, am excited to visit there, the taverna looks lovely!

That has made me alot happier, as Id read several reviews about rooms being dark and Im much more of a bright person!! Fingers crossed I get a nice bright room with a lovely view! (heres hoping anyway!)

Thanks again Tina.

 

Sam, what month are you there, you may bump into someone from here?

 

We stayed for 4 nights last year and got bath and hand towels, and Mum allways does, but I have read that they didn't at one time? Helen maybe able to help with that. I take a china mug filled with sponge and jcloth and travel washup liquid, wrapped in a tea towel. Also vanish soap bar for when I do my mis hols stamping in the shower beach towel wash, and when my 2 messy lot can't find their mouths with oil and sauce! Or, better still take them to Sisters washing machine

 

The studios are as described, basic old style Greek self catering. They do have a BabyBelling 2 ring stove and cooker with grill, but not the equipment or space to make a gourmet meal. Who wants to do lots of cooking on holiday anyway? Top tip fill the coffee pan with water and onto boil(saucer on top) as you start your shower. It will be boiling with enough for 2 cups when you finish! 

 

No problem with getting bread and all foods in Lakka. One shop does stay open in the day and Sundays for most essentials.

 

 

Recently Olympic have used the hydrofoils more sensibly taking into account your departure and arrival times, even used sea taxis so you get there the following morning if a night flight. Don't know if it helped that the rep had lived on the island for a few years?

 

You can't get to AntiPaxos direct, it means a bus trip into Gaios. The round island boat trips run from lakka too, chaeper to book direct in the village rather than via rep!  Also Parga trips in mid/peak season. Bastas family also have a taverna and salt water pool at Monadendri beach and provide a free minibus there and back each day. They are a lovely family with various siblings, Uncles, Cousins running both businesses.

 

For those who have been to Bastas before I have just heard that they have dug out the left hand side, as you face the entrance, to allow more space and light into those rooms. Though some customers prefer them in the hottest months. Also Tracey is repping for another company, so a new Lady, Sam.

 

I'm sure you'll enjoy Lakka too.

Regards,

Ray & Sally

I have to agree that Kassiopi sounds like it might be good for you. Nice friendly tavernas and shops, nice place to have a wonder round. Hope you find somewhere to book soon, June is coming up fast!!

 

As for supermarkets you need look no further than Yanni's in the centre of Sinies, lovely guy with everything you could want, his homemade dips are fab he also has an excellent wine selection and he can get you bbq meat/fish just ask him.  There is also another good place on the road to Kassiopi, cant remember its name but is on the main road.

Also the cake shop at Sinies is amazing, in my opinion make the best lemon pie on the island FAB.

Hope this helps, you will have a great holiday.

Re Aqualand think you will find lots of info already on here somewhere. Have been but not for a few years.

Gilly

Make sure you find the Brouklis taverna in the road away from the sea towards the bakery for the yummy courgette keftedes and the "just warm" galactoboreko.    

Make sure you walk up to the ridge overlooking San Stef - a couple of bars up there with magnificent views on either side of the ridge. 

You have mentioned all of our favourite things - particularly Old Perithia and O Foros Taverna for walnut cake.

You may want to consider doing the East Coast cruise from Kassiopi - that was a nice day, stopping off at a couple of places during the cruise. 

Have a great time!

My wife and I will be arriving in Arillas on the 9th of June for the first time, we have been to Corfu several times before but have never been to Arillas so we are looking for a few pointers from the more experienced visitors to this part of the island. We will be bringing our daughter and her fella who are both about 30 and have never been to Greece before and their two children who are 4 and 5. We are staying at the Marina hotel for two weeks, we have chosen self catering as going for a leisurely evening stroll and finding somewhere nice is a big part of our holiday and we wouldn't have it any other way. Our first night will be spent at the Marina enjoying the Greek night. Previously my wife and I have stayed in Paleokastritsa so we will be popping over there a few times I should imagine, we have also planned to take the kids to Aqualand, we will be renting a boat for a day, there will no doubt be a few trips in to Corfu town, across to Kassiopi, up Pantokrator, Old Perithia, the Achilleon Palace, Angelokastro, Erikousa (not sure if I spelled that right), a bit of snorkelling here and there and plenty of great food in all sorts of little tavernas but what we would like is some suggestions for what to see and do in and around the local area of Arillas both during the day and in the evening. I'm sure we will be fine but there is nothing worse than visiting somewhere and finding out when you get home that you missed out on a fantastic restaurant or a spectacular beach just because you didn't know it was there.

It is a lovely walk and you see all the little bays and salt lakes between the two and should arrive on the beach by the Eucalyptus taverna.

The bar at the Michael Angelo Village is open.

Bob

Phil

Five Roses (formerly Opa) for food, views and service.

Pangalos, food and views

Drossia, food

Nikos family Taverna, food

Roxannes, drinks and views

Pirates, air-conditioning, catching up on news and drinks/snacks

There are plenty of others which I am sure will be listed. Hope you enjoy your stay.
