Dramatic beaches and coastline of West Corfu

Giannades

Traditional Village Life in Western Corfu

ABOUT

Giannades is part of West Corfu. A traditional west Corfu village surrounded by countryside and well placed for exploring the island's western side.

Giannades is a traditional village in western Corfu surrounded by olive groves and countryside. The appeal is its lived-in village atmosphere rather than tourist facilities.

It is well placed for road trips across the west and central parts of the island, particularly for visitors who enjoy combining rural villages with nearby beaches. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in traditional villages, exploring by car, walking and local life.

Getting there and practical information

Several Green Bus routes serve the Giannades area, but services can be infrequent and route variations make it worth checking the current timetable carefully. Free street parking is available and a car remains the easiest option for exploring the nearby west-coast beaches.
