Locality:
Kelia is a small, tranquil hamlet of houses, spread out through the olive groves. It is approximately 1km from the coast road. The mature olive groves are covered in Spring flowers in early season and if you are lucky you might see some of the wild tortoises! The local farmer grazes his sheep and goats and can be seen riding his horse with traditional wooden saddle!
Kassiopi is a charming little fishing village, with a traditional port. Tourism has had its influence (particularly in July/August) but down in the harbour you can still find local fishermen supplying the local restaurants with fresh daily fish. Tavernas, shops, beaches and bars offer something for everyone. Teenagers will appreciate the evening life - with several music bars and 'low key' clubs. It is a safe environment for them to meet other friends.
Activities:
Water skiing, wake boarding, scuba diving, wind sailing, boat hire all available close by in Kassiopi/Avlaki/Kalami.
Water Parks - Aqua Land is the biggest, just west of Corfu Town or the Hydropolis near Acharavi.
Scooter/bike/buggy rental available in Kassiopi. Numerous boat trips/fishing trips and excursions available locally.
Horse riding available on the Avlaki Penninsula.
Beaches:
North East Corfu is famous for its secluded coves. A large choice is available within a 2 minute to 20 minute drive. Even in August it is possible to find secluded beaches where you can be on your own! Highly recommended - the Eucalyptus lined cove of Chouchoulio (at Kouloura), Gialiskari and Agni (some of the best Tavernas on Corfu!!)
Corfu is very popular with walkers in spring, early summer and autumn. Comfortable climate and lovely scenery, so reminiscent of Gerald Durrell's 'My Family and other Animals', attracts walkers at this time of year. Walking in Corfu is both relaxing and a lovely way to unwind by taking in the beautiful surroundings of the countryside with its lush green scenery and numerous wild flowers before the heat of the summer. The flora and fauna explosion of spring have to be seen to be fully appreciated!
Golf:
A 45 minute drive will take you to Corfu's golf course.
