A charming little fishing village, Agios Stefanos is filled with authentic Greek character surrounded by a rugged backdrop of hills just ripe for exploring. There is a wonderful view of Albania that can be seen from the harbour at Agios Stefanos, in fact it is so close that even the houses can be seen across the water. Whilst soaking in the view, try the ‘Corfu Special’ cocktail on the waterfront bar – a mix of Bacardi, Grand Marnier, orange and lemon juice and grenadine. Also on the harbour, motorboats can be hired for the day (though not recommended after a Corfu Special) to explore the scenic surrounding area.
The hillside wraps itself around this pretty undeveloped village dotted with beautiful stone villas, much sought after in the height of the season, with a few restaurants in the village catering for visitors.
A half hours walk from the coastguard station above Agios Stefanos is the long stretch of shingle beach at Avlaki, a wind-surfers paradise, and nearby is Kerasia, thought to be the most attractive resort on this stretch of the coast. Agios Stefanos and the surrounding hamlets are completely unspoilt – you’ll be spoilt for choice deciding which to explore first
