Famous for its verdant scenery and idyllic beaches, Corfu is often considered the most beautiful of the Greek islands and the setting of the Bella Mare Hotel, is particularly idyllic in the quieter North East of the Island, where the water is exceptionally clear and blue. Indeed, the sand and shingle beach on which the hotel is set proudly flies a Blue Flag for cleanliness.
There’s a good choice of restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance including the two excellent local tavernas just a few minutes stroll from the hotel and the many more in the bustling fishing village of Kassiopi approximately 20mins walk. There’s also a handy a supermarket under 1.5km away.
Those looking to venture a little further afield will find an array of places to explore. The north of the island is blessed with the most beguiling views. Olives groves sweep down to pebbly coves and sleepy seaside villages. Agios Stephanos is very close and has a good choice of restaurants and laid-back night spots. Keen walkers may wish to tackle Mount Pantokrator which is surrounded by rugged terrace but filled with rare flowers and has a couple of ancient churches and monasteries to take in along the way.
Corfu town (35km away) is well worth a visit and often surprises guests with its beautiful Venetian architecture. The harbour is a lovely place to while away a few hours, whilst the great choice of galleries and museums are perfect for those in search of a little more culture. We also recommend visiting the beautiful, French built café-lined promenade known at the Liston.
