At the bottom of the Hill going down from Apolosies to Nissaki there is Aphrodities supermarket where you can get most things that you need. Near Corfu town on the dual carriageway that brought you to the Villas there are larger economy supermarkets where you can stock up.
There are numerous tavernas in Nissaki. Mitsos is on the waters edge adjacent to the beach. Vitamins is opposite Aphrodities to the left and serves very good home grown wholesome food as its name suggests.
The surrounding area
The North East coast of Corfu has numerous pretty coves and beaches each with their own laid back tavernas in which to wile away the heat of the day on shady terraces under the olive trees and feast on Greek delights during the balmy evenings. Nissaki is the nearest beach where there are three quality tavernas right on the water’s edge. Kassiopi is a 30mins drive to the north along the coastal road and has a variety of shops, tavernas and boat trips. Ipsos is 15mins drive to the south and has a lively night time culture.
In the crystal clear waters of Nissaki bay ( a 5mins drive) there are available water sports, scuba diving and boat hire.
The attractive bay of Agni is just a ten min drive away, there you can find the popular taverna Agni and Tululas a locally renowned fish restaurant. Many famous people go there to relax in its quiet typically greek unpretentious atmosphere.
Corfu town is a great place to visit with its great architecture and the famous cricket pitch near the old fortress.
The two lovely bays of kaloura and kalami where Lawrence Durrell once lived in the White House, which is now a popular restaurant, are just 20 mins drive to the north.
A great way to get around to see all the pretty little coves is to hire a boat from Nissaki harbour for the day. The sea is generally calm and its a relaxing way to spend the day pootling about the bays visiting tavernas or fishing or just sitting and enjoying the scenery.
If you have never visited this area before i guarantee that once you have been you will want to come again and again. There is so much to do if you want to but doing very little is also an option, just recharging your batteries in the glorious sunshine.
