Liapades Corfu ( Korfu ) Greece

Liapades is situated in the west coast of Corfu Island (approx. 18 Km from town) at the northern end of an area called The Marmaro Hills. The village of Liapades is built on a small hill with unique views to the green landscapes and mountains of the greenest island in Greece. The architecture of the buildings is traditional Greek with a lot of small shops and cafes in the heart of Liapades giving you a warm feeling.

Just beyond the village of Liapades is the bay where you can swim and enjoy the crystal waters of

At the central square of Liapades village there are cafe/bars and taverns where you can enjoy traditional drinks, food and experience the Greek way of life.

Everybody is very helpful and friendly doing their best to make you feel warm and comfortable.Also at the square lies the beautiful church of St Anastasias which has been fully restored to its original state. It is one of the 6 churches in total and is definitely worth to visiting.

If you are lucky you may even see a wedding or christening take place.You may even see a donkey heavily loaded with hay. (Please ask before taking photos of locals as not everyone likes their photograph being taken).

One track passes over the high ridge above Kanakades and the tracks and trails stretch on down the south eastern side to Giannades, Marmaro and Kanakades traditional non tourist villages. These guides have been prepared to enable walkers to enjoy this wonderful unspoilt area by understanding the layout of the tracks and trails and to know where they are walking and to avoid confusion.
