Liapades

Μετάφραση

The village of Liapades is a traditional agricultural village with a local Corfiot population, situated slightly inland and uphill. It is one of the nicest traditional villages of Corfu in the west coast approximately 18 km from Corfu Town. This pretty little village is surrounded by stunning pine-forested hills and despite the tourist development, retains its traditional and architectural elements with beautiful houses from the 18th century and narrow streets. The village of Liapades is small, but cozy. Even though it is different from the classic image of Greece with white houses and blue roofs, it has everything you need for a good rest. There are taverns, cafés and shops which cover all the needs a visitor may have but has also some stunning beaches nearby.

The village is divided into two parts, the old village where most of the locals live and the tourist area with a cluster of tourist accommodation and facilities. On the central square you can experience the Greek way of life on the traditional small cafes and bars and visit the church of Agia Anastasia of the 16th century with its beautiful, religious paintings and old icons. Not far away from Liapades there are many places to visit including the well-known Paleokastritsa. Liapades has two main beaches. One – Liapades (Gefyra) beach – is easy to reach and is more popular among tourists than the other one. From there you can also visit by boat some other unorganized coves and beaches in the area such as Rovinia, Klimatia, Iliodoro and Limni beach.

With stunning natural surroundings and a traditional feel, Liapades is a great place to visit and stay. If you visit it by car, you should take extra care as the roads are verry narrow. Liapades is also famous for its wine with the ubique color and flavor.
