Listed 3 sub titles with search on: Main pages for wider area of: "THINALIO Municipality CORFU" .
PANTOKRATOR (Mountain) CORFU
Mount Pandokrator is 911 metres in height. Small sections of cultivable (but almost
totally abandoned) land are still to be found on its bare, rocky slopes. The Venetians
gave the peak the name Monte San Salvatore. The view from the summit towards Barbati
is incomparable. A monastery is to be found there on the site of an older building
dating from 1372.
RODA (Port) CORFU
Rhoda as also nearby Acharavi
on the northern part of the island, offer an ideal combination of sea and mountain,
while there have also been many important archaeological finds in the area. The
beach is one of the most beautiful on the island, while the traditional settlement
of Ano Acharavi is distinguished for its architecture.
THINALIO (Municipality) CORFU
The Municipality of Thinali is located in the north of Corfu,
covering the flank of the Pantokrator
Mountain Massif as far as the sea, and comprises eight villages and 39 hamlets.
Its boundary to the north is the sea, where the beach stretches for
several kilometers from Roda
to Acharavi and Almiros,
Agios Spiridon, Apraos
and Kalamaki. It is considered to be one of the most extensive and cleanest beaches
in the Mediterranean, and in set in the scenery of exceptional natural beauty.
The coastal area of Thinali was one of the first in Greece
to develop for tourism, and all facilities one expects to find in a modern town
are available in the region’s centre, Acharavi,
with shops, restaurants, bars and banks supplying all services a tourist might
require.
