We recommend walking or visiting the village of Ano Korakiana. The village retains its traditional
Corfu’s architecture and is one of the oldest villages in Corfu and the Ionian islands

The village of Ano Korakiana, in the distance, looks like the mounts Korakio and Korendi that are located in the north-central Corfu and are 18 kilometers away from the town of Corfu, embrace it.

The Achilleion Palace can be found in the Village of Gastouri, 10 km’s south west of the town of Corfu.

Following the national road Corfu – Achilleion and turning left at Ponti, the twisting road ascends through the olive groves to the village of Agios Deka (the 10 Saints), and finally arriving in the village of Gastouri, passing the traditional houses with their attractive flower fill gardens, bougainvillea festooned walls and pergolas awash with color, there is a hint of something special at the end of the road which unfolds itself at the imposing iron gates of the Achilleion Palace, which dominates a hilltop location.

There, where your imagination is free to run wild, the fairy tale becomes one with reality; good, evil and even the truth become one with the legend. A strange sense of awe overwhelms anyone that gazes over the imposing form of the Palace which dominates the area with its presence, residing between the cypress trees and other exotic plants and flowers which surround it.

Meet Trailriders that are located very close to our holiday appartments and enjoy the unique experience of horse riding

TRAILRIDERS horse trekking centre and riding stables, located 2kms south of the village of Ano Korakiana, was established in 1992 by British born Sally-Ann Lewis. She spent 10 years in Wyoming, USA, managing a cattle ranch, where she learned to ride and care for horses.

After arriving at the stables, you are introduced to the horses, dogs and cats. The owner’s love of animals cannot be doubted. The nine horses are suitable for beginners because of their quiet nature and good manners, but are also spirited enough for the more advanced.

From the stables you enter a beautiful wooded area of oak trees; leaving the woodland you see the striking view of the village of Ano Korakiana in the distance. After a further 20 minutes, you arrive at the village and wind your way through the quaint houses and semi-rural landscape. The ride then continues for another 40 minutes through olive groves, wide dirt tracks, vineyards, and pastures of grazing goats and sheep.
