Agios Spiridon North Corfu (Korfu) Greece

Agios Spiridon: the northern, treeless flanks of Mt. Pantokrator drop to shores which are in general rocky, except for the peninsula of Agios Spiridon, where the church of the Saint is located and the homonymous sandy beach.

Continuing the main road you will encounter a small bridge that passes the outlet of the Antinioti Lagoon and you will find Yaliskari Beach, a secluded lovely little sandy beach where you can bathe nude if you like.

In the same area lies the Monastery of Agia Ekaterini (St. Katherine) which was founded in 1713 and where remarkable frescoes dating from the 18th and 19th century are preserved.

Agios Spiridon is known in the North East of Corfu (Korfu ) as a nature reserve. The reserve is just a short walk or drive along from the beaches.

There are many butterflies and wild flowers and the fish swim up the canal and lay there eggs here. Behind the resort, there is a small freshwater lake with wildlife and behind it; there are some smaller, even quieter beaches. It is a great place for those looking for a quiet spot.

Other resorts near by are Acharavi (about 6 minutes drive) and Kassiopi (about10 min drive).
