A small, extremely pretty horseshoe-shaped cove with waves gently lapping at its pure white pebbles, Nissaki is an appealing little fishing hamlet with views across the water to Corfu Town. Nissaki means ‘little island’ and hundreds of years ago that is exactly what it was. Building rocks were brought to the island by boat where the locals shaped the rocks and stones. Over the years the chippings fell into the sea forming a ramp, eventually joining Nissaki to the mainland.
Today it is more like a quaint sprawling settlement than a village, consisting of a number of tiny coves, two tavernas and a few shops. The beach, shingle and rocky in parts, is a popular spot for snorkelling, swimming, and boating. Small boats with outboard motors can be hired to explore the nearby shingle coves - or you can choose the various pathways leading along the headland for a more traditional method of exploring.
Either side of Nissaki is Barbati and Agni – a stretch of coastline in one of the most beautiful areas in Corfu. Barbati has a long pebbly beach popular with families – the best along this coast - with umbrellas and sun lounges, plus watersports facilities for the more adventurous. Narrow winding lanes take you to Agni, north of Nissaki, where there is an extremely pretty cove with some yacht mooring jetties.  Regarded as the gourmet heart of Corfu, Agni has three tavernas – one is traditionally Greek and the other two serve a more gourmet Greek cuisine. One of the tavernas is known for its very lengthy wine list – a perfect way to end the day.
