Kontokali, Corfu Island |
| Kontokali, one of the most famous tourist resorts in Corfu, is situated within a cove, very close to the capital Corfu, at a distance of 8 kilometers at the Northwest. The village counts some 1600 permanent residents.
At a distance of 2-3 nautical miles from the coast, out of the cove, it is found the small island of Lazaretto, with luxurious vegetation and trees. During the World War II, the German and Italian dominants of the island had used it as a concentration camp. Accommodation is available within the village and in the area around. Food is abundant in the taverns of the area, where you will find fresh fish, local dishes and a wide range of Greek and international delicacies. |
| You may swim at the beautiful, cosmopolitan and crowded in summer, beach in front of the village, but the area around offers several alternatives too. Most of the beaches are popular and stylish.
A local feast (“panighyri”) is organized in the village in May or June, in honor of Holy Spirit. In case of health problems, you should address to the Health services and amenities of the nearby capital Corfu (8 kilometers far away). Access from the town of Corfu is very easy by public buses (the blue ones) running frequently, by taxi or by rented and private car and motorbikes. |
