Location:
Antiperni is a pretty, picturesque village «encountered» by dense vegetation and located next to the village of Karousades. The village is situated in the central North part of Corfu, on the top of a hill with scenic views to the valleys on the East and West side of the village. It is said that Antiperni has preserved its name from mythology, because Homer refers to this village with the name Antipernaia, which means «to go across», meaning across the fortress of the city of Faiakes which is believed to be situated on the hill where, Agrafi is today. It is a very quiet village, even though it is a few minutes away from the big resorts of the north coast of the island, Sidari, Roda, and Acharavi.
From Antiperni, one has multiple beach options to choose from, all within a short drive. The closest being Astrakeri beach, 3.1km away. Additionally, there are countless outdoor locations to explore. For instance, Nymfes village and its waterfalls, 7.5km away; The Unesco Heritage village of Old Perithia, 22km away; Afionas village, a wonderful picturesque little village with nice traditional houses, narrow white-paved streets, colourful gardens and breathtaking views, 12.4km away. There are multiple trekking and scenic bicycle routes in the region to explore. Culinary and local delights await for everyone to enjoy.
The closest mini market and grocery store is 62 meters away on foot. The local café and bar is 25 meters away on foot. The closest restaurant is 1.1km away. The closest major centers with banking, supermarkets, shopping, and going out are either 5.5km west in Sidari or 8.2km east in Acharavi.
Many consider Corfu to be the premier destination of the Ionian islands. With its pastel villages, rolling olive groves and grand manor houses, the island resembles Tuscany in combination with some of the best beaches in Europe.
One may venture inland to the UNESCO heritage site of Old Perithia, an enchanting, abandoned village with footpaths, honey producers, and tavernas that specialize in local dishes and delicacies!
The cosmopolitan capital is a charming clash of Venetian, British and French colonial influences. A place where evenings kick off with cocktails on the Liston (a colonnade modelled on Paris's rue de Rivoli), followed by dinner at one of the many outstanding restaurants in the confines of the island’s other designated UNESCO Heritage site of Old Corfu Town.
