GOUVIA - CORFU
Gouvia is home to Corfu's main marina and has a strong seafaring history going back to its days as a Venetian naval base. Gouvia remains popular with the island's rich and famous boat owners. There are some impressive homes and costly yachts to be found in harbour. Gouvia sits in a tightly curving natural bay, 5 miles north-west of Corfu Town and Corfu airport, on the east coast of the island. Gouvia feels self-contained and a little secluded due to its setting even though it is so close to the capital.
Gouvia resort offers a little of everything. There is plenty of cosmopolitan life, some excellent restaurants, and lively nightlife. There is a choice of Gouvia beaches and some quieter more secluded spots for bathing.
