The resort of Nissaki Beach at Sinies
Nisaki is a spread-out coastal area on the northeastern side of Corfu, set among the slopes of Mount Pantokrator and forming part of the island’s most scenic beaches in Corfu region.
The name means “small island,” and the original islet is still visible, now connected to the mainland and home to one of the island’s oldest tavernas.
The area stretches from Agni in the north down to the bridge over the ravine that separates it from Barbati. Agni, in particular, is well known for its excellent food, with its waterfront tavernas offering one of the most enjoyable dining experiences on the island.
Further south, another bay serves as a popular stop for boat trips, where visitors often swim, dive from the rocks, or explore sea caves. Above the water, a small abandoned chapel overlooks the bay, built in earlier times by returning sailors.
Boats can be rented from the small harbor, and water taxis operate along the coast. The main road runs high above the shoreline, around 80 meters up, with several shops and viewpoints along the way offering spectacular views across the sea toward Corfu Town and the mountains of Epirus.
The surrounding hillside villages, including Kaminaki, add to the charm of the area, though exploring here often requires a good level of fitness due to the steep terrain.
