ABOUT NISSAKI
As we enter in the Municipality Kassiopi, the first impression you have gazing the soft natural beauty, with the green mountainsides ends in the white pebble beaches with crystal waters, is that calm and the admiration. An attractive village along the coast road which winds around the lower slopes of Mount Pantocrator, is Nissaki which is one of the most favourite destinations among seasoned and discerning travellers to Corfu. Nissaki is a very alive village filled with life and with kind and friendly habitats. Nissaki offers to the traveller all these things that will please him during his holidays. The hamlet Nissaki looks like it is hanging above the small beaches. The picture of peacefulness and calm becomes still more intense in the view of the irresistible beach of “Krouzeri”.
Nissaki Corfu 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) 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 hotel buildings.
That has help Nissaki to remain a place “infested” with olive trees and natural beauty, while providing all the facilities and amenities that a tourist would expect on his / her visit.
The name Nissaki (or Nisaki) 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 the rabble pilling up from the an old nearby query. That original island is now joined to the land and occupied by a taverna.
The main road runs through Nissaki Corfu. Most of the Nissaki accommodation is found under and over this road and away from the noise of the day traffic.
