GOUVIA RESORT IN CORFU GREECE


GOUVIA resort - overlooking spectacular Kommeno Bay- is the site of Corfu's largest yachting marina and the launching point of most of the island's flotilla and bareboat holidays, although the mainly Scandinavian German and British holidaymakers far outnumber boaters.
Gouvia enjoys a rural location, set, as it is among olive groves and cypress trees, but don't be fooled into thinking it's a quiet little hamlet.

GOUVIA has become one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island, offering both lively nightlife and quiet hillside spots. However, the centre itself has a rather cramped feel and there is a one-way system in operation along the main strip.
The resort has a definite nautical ambience: it boasts a large yacht marina and was once an historic Venetian naval base ? at one end of the beach you will find a ruined Venetian arsenal and the precariously beached wreck of a yacht.

Adjoining Gouvia is the quiet village of Kontokali while 1 ml inland is Danila, a purpose-built, Greek-style village where folklore performances are organised for evening trips.
