Ilios is a holiday rental villa with a private pool, amazing sunny terraces and exceptional views over the bay.
Great stay. There was a family staying in the next door villa who were quiet and respectful that they had neighbours. That said, the noise doesn't seem to travel so I can imagine, unless you get really unlucky, the fact this place has an adjoining villa won't be noticed. Road up to the property is very doable. From time to time, there'll be another car on the road but with a bit of manouvering/potentially reversing to a passing spot, it's never really a problem to get up and down. The pool is fantastic. A great size. The combined living / dining / kitchen area is small, but as per the photos. The only negative for us was that the combined living/dining/kitchen area didn't have air conditioning. As a result, it was particularly hot on an evening - especially if we'd cooked - and could be a little uncomfortable. It's a fifteen minute walk down to the bakery and about twenty to get back up. Very doable on a morning before it gets too hot. Overall, highly recommended.
Please note: As per the E.U. Directive and new law in effect, there's a nightly fee of 1.5€ for the environment. This fee you'll either pay separately along with your total balance or upon arriving at your accommodation
Nisaki is only a very small village, extended from the slopes of mount Pantokrator all the way down to the sea and it is located on the celebrated northeast coast of Corfu Island, a meret 25 kms from Corfu Town.
Nisaki, in the Greek language, means: "small island" and it is believed that took its name from the small island, which existed in its bay. Years ago, the locals used to work on this island, shaping stones and rocks for building, brought to them by boats. After many years, the chippings falling into sea formed a ramp and eventually joined the land. Now, there is a narrow road running between the old island, where a couple of Tavernas are standing and the mainland. Lately, a jetty was constructed, linking it permanently to the coast.
The main village of Nisaki was emerging on the hill, above this inlet, where a church, a school, a small cafe and the village's first houses were located.
In nowadays the village on its own is quite sporadic and has got no main centre. The main part of the village is alongside and upward the main coastal road. Above the main road there are 2-3 winding lanes that go up high, through olive groves and eventually join Nisaki with the top of Mount Pantokrator.
Hundreds of luxury villas adorn the slopes of the Mountain, providing spectacular views and making Nisaki, overall, a very popular resort, a car is recommended due to the elevated location of most properties.
Nissaki is still an un-commercialized resort, but with unbelievable scenery and amazing viewpoints promising a truly memorable holiday. It is a tranquil village, ideal for family holidays, elderly couples and people who love traditional Greece. Young couples are also welcome, as the area offers a choice of nightlife just a few kilometers further up, in Kassiopi and / or Ipsos. The main Nissaki beach area is small but elegant waterside tavernas are simply perfect to while away time gazing out to the stunning scenery of the rugged Albanian mountains beyond the Corfu Channel and sparkling Ionian Sea.
