Villa Karoubatika

The scenery around the picturesque village of Agios Ioannis makes you believe that you’ve stepped back in time; such is the natural beauty and abundant evidence of how things used to be. Rolling hills draped in olive groves, lush valleys swathed in all varieties of citrus trees and an explosion of cypress trees lining the scenic, pastoral paths and side roads. Another of the key selling points of this charming village is the fact that you have gorgeous views as far as the eye can see from wherever you have the good fortune to be based whilst holidaying up here and it’s less than a ten-minute drive down to the fabulous sandy beaches at nearby Pelekas and Glyfada.

Corfu Old Town has been named World Heritage Centre by UNESCO - its cobblestone streets and quaint shops displaying history as you walk around them, and it can be reached in less than 20 minutes by car. So you’re not exactly stuck in the middle of nowhere, even if that’s how you actually feel up here in the stunningly beautiful village of Agios Ioannis.
