About Nissaki Corfu
Nissaki is situated on the North East Coast of Corfu, about 25 km from Corfu town.
Lying under the mountain of Pantocrator (the only mountain in Corfu) it is one of the most non-commercialized parts of the Corfiot island, as its location has discouraged most plans for the mass development of touristic accommodations and big hotels.
That has help Nissaki to remain a place infested with olive trees and natural beauty while providing all the facilities and amenities that a guest would expect on his visit.
The name Nissaki means "little island" and as the older people say, was the name of the small island that was joined with the mainland by the many years of pilling up from the work that was done in an old nearby query. That original island is now joined to the land and occupied by a taverna.
The main road runs through Nissaki. Most of the accommodation are found away under and over this road and the noise that one would expect from the day and night traffic.
