Nissaki, a small village on the north east coast of Corfu lies beneath Mount Pantokrator (the island's highest peak) on the road leading to Kassiopi.  Despite its undeniable beauty, it remains uncommercialised and is popular with everyone seeking a quiet, relaxing holiday.  Many people return year after year.

The name Nissaki means 'little island' and although that island is now joined to the mainland, the Taverna Mitsos stands upon it overlooking the small pebbled beach. The sea is clear, clean and ideal for swimming, but the beach shelves quite steeply in places and can get busy during high season when the visiting caiques arrive.   There is a smaller beach (Skinos Beach) several hundred metres along the coast from Nissaki's main beach.  Nissaki should not be associated with the Nissaki Beach Hotel  (Krouzeri Beach) situated substantially further north along the coast.

The village of Nissaki is strung out along the coast road with several bus stops for the Corfu/Kassiopi bus. The village has numerous tavernas, supermarkets, several tourist shops and car/bike hire.  All your daily requirements  are readily available and there really is no need to leave the village if for any reason you want to stay put.

Access to the smaller beaches is by foot, look for the numerous footpath signs in Greek and English.  Vehicular access to Nissaki's main beach is via the beach road at the southern end of the village.

There is limited parking by Nissaki beach and you may find that during high season, if you arrive around lunchtime and especially at weekends, you may have a problem to park your car. Aliki's Apartments are within walking distance.

Water taxis arrive and depart from the jetty next to Mitsos taverna and the harbour throughout the day.  Try sitting with a drink, watching the coming and going.  Is there anything more relaxing?

The only toilets available are within the tavernas-not a problem if you are eating or drinking at the premises.  Public telephones  are available in various locations throughout the village.

Nissaki's  harbour was completed in  2004. Nissaki can now offer a safe and spacious mooring for your boat. The concerns about the harbour spoiling the beauty of the area have proved unfounded. The harbour wall is faced with local rock and will enhance the marine life environment.
