Corfu: Ano Korakiana Corfu

Ano Korakiana Corfu: Ano Korakiana is a historic settlement 19km north of Corfu Town. The village was first inhabited during the medieval times maintaining a lot of traditional aspects of that time. Ano Korakiana was mainly populated by noble families who still give a dynamic presence with the strong structure of the houses and the preserved characteristics of the 18th century.

The village flourished economically during the English occupancy, where the majority of the local residents worked in trade contributing to the cultural development of the region. Today, 900 people live permanently in Ano Korakiana, most of them working at the local shops. The terrain is rough with narrow paved streets, surrounded by emerald trees and a couple of nice taverns.
