Krini

The small village at the approach to Angelokastro

ABOUT

Krini is a small north-west Corfu village best known to visitors as the approach to Angelokastro, with traditional lanes and dramatic surrounding scenery.

Krini has old stone buildings and village lanes, with an association with the approach to Angelokastro. Check the current visitor route separately.

The village and Angelokastro

Krini is best understood as a village visit alongside the approach to Angelokastro, rather than as part of the beach resort below. Its stone buildings and lanes deserve a little time of their own. Check the fortress's current opening and access arrangements separately, especially if that is the main reason for the journey.

Planning the hill-country part of your day

Combine Krini with Makrades or a selected coastal stop rather than assuming every viewpoint and bay will fit into one afternoon. A village walk and the climb at a historic site are different activities; choose what suits your group. Before booking rural accommodation, confirm how the car reaches the property and whether luggage has to be carried through lanes. For beach time, allow for the road journey down to Paleokastritsa or Agios Georgios Pagon.

Getting around, beaches and evenings

Car recommended. Explore the village lanes on foot; check access to Angelokastro separately.

No beach in the village. Agios Georgios Pagon and the Paleokastritsa coastline are nearby options.

Very quiet, with local tavernas rather than dedicated nightlife. Nearby coastal resorts provide more evening choice.
