The Village & Around

A quiet village with Corfu on its doorstep

Sinarades is a traditional village on the west side of Corfu, with narrow lanes, old stone houses and everyday island life. It’s quiet and green, and a world away from the busy resorts.

From the loft, sandy beaches, mountain viewpoints and Corfu’s historic old town are all a short drive away. Here are a few of our favourite places.

The view from Kaiser’s Throne, a short drive from the village.

Just above it is Kaiser’s Throne, the viewpoint pictured at the top of this page, and one of the best places on the island to watch the sun go down.

Also known as Pelekas beach: a sandy, sheltered bay below the village of Pelekas.
