Stavros

Stavros is a traditional hill village in central Corfu, surrounded by olive-covered countryside and walking country above the island's east coast.

Olive country above the east coast

Stavros is a place to appreciate Corfu's inland landscape and village lanes rather than look for a conventional resort centre. Its hill setting makes it a useful contrast to the waterfront around Benitses. The municipality includes Stavros in its countryside selection, but that does not establish the condition or difficulty of any particular walking route.

Choosing a visit or a rural base

For a day out, combine a village stop with a separate coastal meal or swim, leaving time for the winding approach. For a longer stay, ask the host which everyday facilities are close enough to reach on foot and how the final road reaches the property. If walking is the main reason for coming, choose a mapped route in advance and confirm its current condition locally rather than relying on the destination name alone.

Getting around, beaches and evenings

A car is recommended for reaching Stavros and exploring the surrounding hills, with the village itself best discovered on foot.

No beach in the village. Beaches around Benitses and the south-east coast are a short drive away.

Very quiet, with little dedicated nightlife. Benitses and the south-east coast offer more evening dining and bars.
