Holidays to Karousades showcase Corfu at its best – expect greenery, beaches and quaint village scenes by the bucketload.
You’ll find Karousades squeezed among olive-green forest in northern Corfu. Looks-wise, it’s got all the stereotypical characteristics of a traditional Greek village. Rustic, pastel-hued homes line the narrow streets, complete with terracotta roof tiles and plant-speckled balconies. Throw a few tavernas, a bakery and a mini-market into the mix, and you’ve got the full works.
The coast’s just a five-minute cab ride or a 30-minute trot away, so you can swap the forest scenes for sea views in a jiffy. There are no massive beaches around here – instead, you’ll find teeny shingle bays, like Yialos, which you might even have all to yourself. Nearby Astrakeri, meanwhile, offers up a little more room, a scattering of sunloungers and a decent helping of honey-hued sand to dig your toes into.
For a change of pace, pop over to Sidari – Karousades’ closest town. It’s only a 10-minute drive away, and it ups the ante on the entertainment front, thanks to a watersports offering and a sprinkling of buzzy beachside bars. If culture’s more your thing, head south to Corfu Town – if you hop in a cab, you can be there in well under an hour. Here, churches and fortresses are waiting to be ogled.
