Guide to Agios Stefanos holidays
Agios Stefanos is a relatively quiet relaxed and simple holiday resort 30 miles from
Corfu town on the NW tip of the islan, with fine views of the
Ionian islands of the Ionian sea and possessing an outstanding bay and extensive sandy beach. Agios Stefanos is proved popular with families and British visitors not least for this resort’s magnificent beaches and setting. The original old village of Agios Stefanos, once home to both fisherman and farmers, is grouped around the church and the old harbour and has a couple of older tavernas. The new Greek-styled resort and port provide a few shops, bars, and a good amount of tavernas and entertainment. Some water sports are available. The airport is also only a 30-mile trip.
Winding country roads lead down to Agios Stefanos bay and its long golden beach. The rural backdrop invites a leisurely walk and a holiday in Agios Stefanos could easily include excursions to colourful
Sidari and Corfu town and boat trips and longer cruises can be made to nearby islands like
Kefalonia and
Paxos.
Paleokastritsa, renowned for its natural beauty is another nearby attraction within reach.
With a backdrop of gentle hills, olive groves and an unspoilt rural valley, Agios Stefanos beach is over a mile long and offers both shallow, flashing blue water, safe for children and a broad stretch of golden soft sand. This safe, spacious and relatively undeveloped beach is popular with children and has been the centrepiece of many Agios Stefanos family holidays.
