Gouvia:
Lie on the pebble beach at Gouvia and gaze at the whitewashed church of Ipapanti Church opposite. Kontokali boasts an incredibly clean sand and pebble beach which is cleared of weed and rubbish early every morning. It has been given EU Blue Flag status and has sunloungers and parasols for hire.
Home to Corfu's largest yachting marina, Gouvia and its next door neighbour Kontokali (also with its own marina) attract tourists from all over the world. The British, American and Germans love it here, as well as the Greeks themselves who come in droves to enjoy the international atmosphere. Within easy reach of Corfu Town, it's also ideally placed to plan a trip to the famous beauty spot, Paleokastritsa, a stunning village surrounded by dramatic wooded headlands.
Head out on the road to Kommeno to find Ipapanti Church perched on the end of a narrow causeway jutting out into Gouvia Bay. Built by the son of a Cretan aristocrat in 1300's, it underwent extensive restoration work in 1996. The church's feast day is marked by two festivals on 2 February and 17 july.
The Lagoon offers great family fun with a lovely swimming pool, polished bar, crazy golf, five-a-side football and lots of facilities for children -and all for a small entrance fee. There's live music in the evening and various organised activities. Open gam to 7pm and 8pm to midnight.
The shops here offer plenty of choice and you'll find lots of jewellery, clothes and leather. For high quality Italian goods at bargain prices try the leather warehouse, at the far end of Gouvia (towards Dassia).
With its prime position overlooking the marina, Argo's is a sophisticated restaurant with an upmarket menu and extensive, if expensive, wine list. Sample Greek and international food, including hamburgers and sandwiches, as well as Greek dancing (three times weekly) at Molfetta Taverna and Beach Bar which overlooks the bay at Gouvia. For English food plus a game of pool and darts try The Locanda, a friendly British-run pub which serves the odd Greek speciality too. Fish couldn't be fresher or more deliciously cooked at O Makis. Settle back on the long established Pipilas' shady veranda and enjoy authentic Greek and Corfiot dishes in a laid back atmosphere. Zorba's Taverna serves everything from English breakfast to good grilled fish in a lovely setting - complete with geraniums, a palm tree and Greek dancing once a week For a wider choice of eating places, take a half-hour stroll to Kontokali.
Archies In Kontokali is loud and bustling-with alive DJ, karaoke and dancing. The Beer Bucket is no place for the shy and retiring. There's live rhythm and blues bands once a week, gallons of draft beer, dancing on the bar and lots of laddish behaviour It's in Kontokali. The King Size, Prince in Gouvia fills up quickly with those keen to hear the English DJ play some great music. Treetops in Gouvia has excellent music and friendly atmosphere.
