Nissaki Holidays

A small, extremely pretty horseshoe-shaped cove with waves gently lapping at its pure white pebbles, Nissaki is an appealing little fishing hamlet with views across the water to Corfu Town.

Nissaki, a tiny, traditional village on the wooded mountainside below Mount Pandokrator, is as concerned with its olive trees and the fishing catch as it is with visitors. About 23km north of Corfu Town and the airport and facing Albania, the compact resort has several small beaches and coves and attracts couples and families seeking a quiet, relaxing and typically Corfiot holiday.

Holidays in Nissaki are excellent for escapists, bliss for beach-lovers, fabulous for families. This scenic place, with its trio of crescent bays, still retains its easy pace while offering all the essential facilities - so if you're thinking of somewhere relaxing, think summer holidays to Nissaki.

Here's what you can look forward to. There's a main beach of sea-smoothed pebbles and a series of rocky coves - where the water's wonderfully clear for snorkelling and scuba diving. And if all these aren't enough for you, you could hire a boat to sail to other shores. Back on land in Nissaki, holidays revolve around a sprinkling of seafront tavernas - family-run and friendly, and a main street with mini-markets and shops for souvenirs and beach stuff (just a few but all you'll need). And behind the village are peaceful paths through the cypress shaded slopes of Mount Pandokator - so walkers and hikers could pack a picnic and disappear for a day that's perfectly peaceful and cheerfully cheap. Holidays to Nissaki make a beautiful base for local exploration - just south of lively Kassiopi and a short hop east of nights out in neighbouring Barbati.
