Greece: Travel Guide: Ionian Islands: Kerkyra: Nissaki

Nissaki Corfu is situated on the North East Coast of Corfu, about 25 km from Corfu town.

Lying under the Mountain of Pantocrator (the only mountain in Corfu) is one of the most non commercialized parts of the Corfiot Island, as its location has discouraged most plans for the mass development of touristic accommodations and big hotel buildings.

That has help Nissaki to remain a place “infested” with olive trees and natural beauty, while providing all the facilities and amenities that a tourist would expect on his / her visit.

The name Nissaki (or Nisaki) means "little island" and, as the older people say, was the name of the small island that was joined with the mainland by the many years of the rabble pilling up from the an old nearby query. That original island is now joined to the land and occupied by a taverna.

The main road runs through Nissaki Corfu. Most of the Nissaki accommodation is found under and over this road and away from the noise of the day traffic.
