 
Saint Stephanos Corfu About St. Stefanos Travelling towards the North - East coast of Corfu through the narrow winding roads, you meet several villages. One of the most popular ones is that of St. Stefanos. It is a traditional fishing village that used to be a very important port, where people would trade flour, oil and olives among other goods. It was also the place where fishermen found shelter when the sea was rough.

Therefore, couples, families and elderly people are welcome here. What to see Beside the picturesque scenery and its impressive location between hills, visitors can enjoy boat trips to Corfu Town or the surrounding bays. Everything is so peaceful here that people can sometimes enjoy the company of ducks splashing around.
Where to swim Everyone can get to the beach on foot, following the village towards the left side of the bay. The shingle beach at St. Stefanos is quite small but offers hours of relaxation under the hot rays of the sun. For those who like comfort, there are sunbeds and umbrellas for hire.
