Location
About the surrounding area of Villa IvoryVilla Ivory is located very close to the centre of Saint Spiridon and its lovely bays. The main beach is only five hundred metres from the villa and enjoys soft sand and calm, turquoise water. There are two tavernas and a mini market. There are many villages nearby including Perithia, Acharavi, Avlaki, Apraos and the lively Kassiopi.
The dramatic Mount Pantokrator overlooks Kassiopi. With pretty narrow streets, a stunning harbour, the ruins of an ancient Byzantine castle and an excellent array of cafes, tavernas, restaurants and shops, this once-quiet fishing village is a must-visit. Kassiopi boasts breathtaking views out to sea towards the Albanian coast. Visitors enjoy delightful, tranquil walks around the headland.
In the centre of the north coast, you will find Acharavi, a delightful resort which also enjoys a wonderful variety of shops, bars and restaurants. These are sprinkled along the central street and along the beach promenade. Acharavi’s 3km golden sandy beach stretches the whole length of the town. Visitors enjoy a wonderful selection of beach bars. There is a water park that is only a seven-minute drive from the villa.
Avlaki Beach sits on the other side of Kassiopi. It is a tranquil resort with a pretty pebbled beach that enjoys dappled shade from the pine and olive trees that are sprinkled along it. Avlaki Beach enjoys some watersports and a few tavernas that serve delicious food.
Paleokastritsa is rumoured to be the mythical island of the Phaeacians and the Bay of Paleokastritsa is the place where Odysseus disembarked and met Nausicaa for the first time. The monastery in Paleokastritsa dates back to 1225 and is home to an interesting museum which houses the holy and precious relics of the monastery. It stands on a sheer hillside brimming with trees and olives facing the deep blue sea. The resort is very hilly and nestles beneath the folds of steep verdant slopes of olive groves and citrus orchards. Saint Spiridon is the most famous beach in Paleokastritsa.
The ghost village of Old Perithia is close to the villa. On the slopes of Mount Pantokrator, at an altitude of 650m, Old Perithia is a wonderful place to visit. The village was originally established in the 14th century, during the Byzantine times. Most of the buildings were built in Venetian style but today most are ruined. In the central square, there are some tavernas open.
The vibrant Corfu Town is one of the most populated towns in the whole of the Ionian Islands. The entire old city is declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. Corfu Town’s unique charm, sophistication, character, atmosphere and fine dining should not be missed. The town’s stunning architecture enjoys many influences including Sicilian, Venetian, French and English. This beautiful town is sprinkled with elegant mansions, magnificent palaces, beautiful squares, majestic fortresses and the very best selection of gastronomic restaurants.

The main beach of Saint Spiridon is excellent for families.
Families enjoy an excellent array of activities on the island of Corfu. There are many beaches to choose from, from hidden, quiet coves to magnificent, highly organised stretches of sand with water sports and dining facilities everywhere. Apraos Beach is popular for snorkelling and other watersports. Acharavi is an excellent family-friendly beach with several schools teaching children to sail or windsurf. Avlaki is a good spot for equestrian fun at the local Dimitris stables. Children of all ages are welcome and if the riders are proficient they may even get to discover the gorgeous coastline with the guides.
Children adore the Aqualand water park for thrilling, fun days. The park offers rides, slides and fun for all ages, boasting a lazy river, wave pool, kayaking, rafting and extreme slides such as the Double Twister, Kamikaze and the Hurricane Twist.
For a totally different day out, you can head to the majestic Mount Pantokrator, the highest peak in Corfu and a popular pilgrim spot. It boasts the most amazing views of the whole of Corfu Island. On a clear day, you can even see Albania and Italy even though Italy is 130km away! There are plenty of hiking trails.
In Corfu Town, children enjoy climbing the walls of the Old Fortress, the Venetian Fort built in the 15th century and the New Fortress. The fortresses boast fantastic views of the turquoise waters. They also enjoy taking boat trips, one being on Kalypso Star, the glass-bottomed boat that leaves the harbour to explore the Ionian Sea’s fascinating marine life. A ten-minute boat trip from Corfu Town takes you to the tiny island of Vidos where you can enjoy feeding the rabbits, seeing the peacocks, swimming and having lunch at the charming taverna.
