Built on one of the hillsides that enclose Kaminaki's small but perfect beach, Villa Petros looks down on to the beach itself and beyond, over the shimmering sea, with a view that encompasses much of the island of Corfu as well as the mainland. Petros is recently-built, modern and spacious, with rooms and terraces designed to make the most of the superb views. A dazzling pool occupies a sensational position just in front of the villa. Well-equipped and comfortable, just a short walk from the beach, the two local tavernas and the useful minimarket, Petros is the ideal villa for people who do not want to move very far during their holiday.
Sitting around the pool of Villa Petros really is this magical.
Interior
The ground floor is a combined lounge, kitchen and dining room with corner fireplace and air conditioning. The two large patio doors overlook stunning views across the bay of Kaminaki and south to Corfu Town, giving the house a light and airy feel. A marble staircase leads up to the three spacious bedrooms, two of which have en suite facilities, and the main bathroom (where you will find the washing machine!). For additional comfort even on the hottest day, Villa Petros is air-conditioned throughout.
Kitchen & Living area
Comfortably furnished in an attractive modern local style enhanced by the use of neutral, restful colours, this large, sunny room is well-designed to fulfill its various functions. The corner kitchen area, open-plan, is very well equipped with dishwasher, full cooker and fridge freezer. Big sliding patio doors leading from the kitchen area to the poolside terrace, make it easy to enjoy al fresco meals in comfort.

Master Bedroom
The marble staircase leads to the top floor, with its three bedrooms. The master double bedroom, air-conditioned, with its en suite bathroom, is situated at the front of the house and overlooks the village of Kaminaki and the beach below.

A private, partly-shaded balcony means that quiet mooments can be enjoyed up here without interruption, in contemplation of the exquisite views.

Kaminaki Corfu
Corfu's north-east coastline is spectacularly beautiful, but has remained uniquely unspoilt in spite of its celebrity-status.
Kaminaki is one of the small and enchanting bays that stud this coastline like jewels on a necklace. Still only a hamlet, with village houses occupied by their original local inhabitants, it has a mixture of modern and converted accommodation, two unpretentious tavernas (and others within easy reach), and water of Caribbean colours that laps against a gently shelving beach of pure white pebbles. One small shop and a complete absence of noisy evening entertainment are other virtues - evenings end here with a quiet drink overlooking the sea, conversation with new or old friends, and perhaps a skinny dip to round things off!
Kaminaki has its following of faithful visitors who return each year, and it is not hard to see that anyone could soon become addicted to this very special combination of exquisite scenery, perfect bathing, water sports suitable for kids and adults, and sheer, undemanding relaxation in a friendly atmosphere. Hire a boat and explore the lovely bays along the coast, or stay put and unwind - Kaminaki makes it all possible.

boat hire - everyone is catered for! Kalami Corfu
Agni Bay
Agni Bay is home to Taverna Agni and Agni Travel.In Greek Agni means un-spoilt and
this describes Agni perfectly - just
three Tavernas (each with their own jetty for mooring up to) and a sprinkle of
local buildings. The bay is reached mainly by rented motor boats, although recently
there is now a narrow road down into the bay: Agni Corfu
Each evening we operate a Speed Boat taxi service, from surrounding bays to Taverna Agni. The above video describes the experience.
