Villa Location

Villa Elissavet is nestled in the hillside above the much-loved Greek resort of Kalami. The resort may be small, but it's also full of character with plenty of Greek charm! An easy 5 minute drive downhill has pleasant views of the sea between the trees, leading to the famous White House Restaurant perched on the edge of the bay. Kalami has a good selection of shops and tavernas, all centred around its lovely little pebble beach - perfect for a relaxing holiday!

Local markets and shopping

This easy-going resort has a few small gift shops and a mini market for daily essentials all
located in the street behind the beach, running parallel to the seafront.
Serious shoppers should head to Corfu Town, 45 minutes' drive away, which has a lively
market, plus many quaint gift shops as well as larger high street brands.

Bars and restaurants

Kalami is centred around the beach which is lined with several waterside tavernas,
including the famous White House restaurant, once home to the author Gerald Durrell.
Just around the headland, within a short walk from Kalami, is the neighbouring village of
Kouloura, which is well worth visiting during your stay.
The village has a quaint little harbour with a few small fishing boats, and a great taverna
on the waterfront offering good seafood and wonderful views.

Beaches

The pebbly beach is perfect for sunbathing and swimming and the tavernas lining the back
of the beach are ideal for a spot of lunch during the day.
In the evening, the village really comes to life with a great atmosphere as you dine.
Neighbouring Kouloura also has a very pleasant little beach, shaded with huge eucalyptus
and pine trees.
Any of the resorts around the North East Coast will also have their own beaches if you
fancy a change of scenery.

 

Family fun

Corfu has a choice of good waterparks. The largest is Aqualand, around 45 minutes' drive
back towards Corfu Town.
Though a little nearer to home is the popular Hydropolis in Acharavi, around 30 minutes away.

Places of interest

The island is full of little villages and there is also some spectacular scenery to be enjoyed.
Why not visit the Pantokrator Mountain, Corfu's highest point, and admire the view over the
island to the open sea - don't forget your camera!
A day trip into Corfu Old Town is also not to be missed. Here you can explore the maze of
cobbled streets lined with souvenir shops. Alternatively, enjoy a traditional Greek meze or look
around the old and new forts before a cocktail or two by the harbour.

Other activities

For anyone who does decide to hire a car, access to the inland and coastal areas of the north
are within easy reach, and a great way to see some of Corfu's superb scenery.
Or, in true Greek style, why not hire a motorboat and see the island from the sea?
There are also various boat excursions available from the village into Corfu Town.
