Pentati
A traditional west-coast village above the sea
ABOUT
Pentati is a traditional west Corfu village set above the coast, with local tavernas and sea views and a quieter atmosphere than the island’s larger resorts.
West-coast views and village life
Pentati's elevated position is central to its character. The village's own community website describes its setting above Ortholithi, the offshore rock associated with the Agios Gordios coast, and its links with agriculture, fishing and tourism. Visit for the village and a meal with a coastal outlook, rather than expecting the beach to be outside every property.
Making a day of it
A Pentati visit can be paired with time at Agios Gordios, but plan the journey between the village and shore deliberately. A map's short distance does not describe the climb back. If you want to stay, ask about the last approach to the property and evening transport after dinner. For a day trip by B9 bus, check both directions first so that a relaxed meal does not become a missed last service.
Getting around, beaches and evenings
Green Bus B9; check the timetable, exact stop and final walk to your accommodation.
The village sits above the west coast, with small coastal spots below and the broad beach at Agios Gordios nearby.
Low-key evenings centred on local tavernas. Agios Gordios has a wider choice of bars and evening venues.
