Potamos

A Traditional Area on the Edge of Corfu Town

ABOUT

Potamos is part of East Corfu. A residential and traditional area close to Corfu Town, offering a different experience from the main coastal resorts.

Potamos is a residential and traditional area on the outskirts of Corfu Town rather than a purpose-built resort. Its value for visitors lies in local character and proximity to the capital and central road network.

It is best suited to independent travellers with transport, particularly those who want a more residential base while remaining close to Corfu Town. It is particularly well suited to visitors interested in traditional villages, car-free holidays, exploring by car and local life.

Getting there and practical information

Potamos lies very close to Corfu Town and is served by local bus routes as well as services using the northern road. Street parking is available, but the older village lanes can be narrow, so the historic centre is best explored on foot.
