Back to Top of Nissaki PageNissaki Village


Nissaki means Little Island and hundreds of years ago that is what it was. On top of the island, now stands a Taverna. In years past, the local people worked on this island, shaping stones and local rocks bought to them by boat. The stones were used for building. After many years, the chippings falling into sea formed a ramp and eventually joined the land. Now there is a narrow road that now runs between the old island where the Taverna stands and the mainland. Nissaki has a small beach and is extremely pretty. The beach is a small horseshoe shape with fine pebbles, offering excellent swimming, although it can become a little crowded when daytrip boats arrive for lunch.

Nissaki straggles along the coastline and the various bays should not be confused. The beach and tavernas at Nissaki are next along the coast from Barbati and Glyfa and are just below the village centre with its church. The Nissaki Beach Hotel is actually at Krouzeri Beach.

Back to Top of Nissaki PageWho is Nissaki for

This is the ideal resort for people of any age who enjoy quiet surroundings, heavenly views and the feeling of being part of a small and friendly community, and of course there is wonderful sea-bathing and snorkeling. Teenagers may find things a little too quiet in the evenings, but parents can easily rent a car to make livelier Kassiopi and Ipsos accessible, with a choice of evening entertainment.

Back to Top of Nissaki PageThe Nissaki Beach

Type

Sand, fine shingle and rocky around the edges.

Facilities

No public toilets, but the owners of the neighbouring tavernas will allow you to use their facilities if you buy lunch or a drink some time during the day. Sunbeds and umbrellas can be rented.

Child Suitability

The beach is well away from the main road and the access road is a cul-de-sac, so no speeding cars can use it. Nissaki beach is small, but rarely crowded. The water shelves gradually and becomes quite deep, but the little bay is very sheltered. Rocks on either side make great play areas for older children and hide small fish and sea creatures in their pools and crevices, keeping kids busy and amused for hours.

Accessibility

There is a ramp on to the beach and a few steps from the beachside taverna.

Cleanliness and Urchins

The Nissaki beach area is kept very clean, apart from the occasional day when a strong wind has left seaweed on it, but this is soon cleared away. The water is clear and clean too. There are no sea urchins in the waters of the bay - it is only near the rocks that you might encounter one occasionally. Wear plastic beach shoes for extra comfort and safety.

Back to Top of Nissaki PagePlaces of Interest


Nissaki is quite spread out, on either side of the winding main road, and has only the church, school and local cafeneion as its centre. Footpaths and one lane lead down to the beaches, and two steeply winding roads lead up and away from the main road, into the hills that form the lower slopes of Mount Pantocrator. This is Corfu￿s highest mountain and is very impressive when seen from Nissaki. Cars can only go so far along these roads ￿ once they peter out, though, there are marvelous walks in the Nissaki uplands, with abandoned villages, ample wildlife(especially the flowers in spring), and incredible views that extend right into the mountains of Albania.

Back to Top of Nissaki PageHow to get to Nissaki


Follow the main coastal road from Corfu town towards the North East of the island. Pass through Ipsos and Barbati, Watch out for the narrow roads and bad bends as you wind around the hills of the North East of Corfu. Nissaki beach is signposted on your right, take this turning, go slowly as like most of the smaller bays in this part of the island the road down to it is steep and narrow. Go all the way to the bottom and there is limited parking on the roadside.

Some evenings, a boat taxi service is available to Taverna Agni - 7 Euro per person return.
