Boat Hire.

Nissaki Boat Rental.

They are  located in Nissaki's harbour. The proprietor Xenofontos known as Young Fontos (see sun bed hire)  offers motor boat hire for the day or week.  You will be able to explore the small coves and beaches along the coast and stop off at one of the many beach tavernas.  This is by far the best way to see the beautiful coastal scenery. He has a variety of boats to suit your requirements with outboard engines ranging from 15 to 30 HP, license not required. If you are an inexperienced boat handler Fontos will give you a 30 min. course with a guaranteed pass.   His English and instructional skills are second to none. Visit their site at www.nissakiboatrental.com and book your boat before you arrive.

Boat Trips.

Captain  Iakis and Vivi.

Nissaki's new harbour was completed in April 2004.   As well as offering a safe mooring for visiting boats, a local captain offers boat trips to various locations from the harbour.  Captain Iakis (Yakis) and his boat Vivi will give you the opportunity to explore this beautiful island.  Iakis offers organised excursions along the north east coast and to Corfu town.  He also  offers a twice weekly BBQ trip where you can dine 'Al Fresco' on a secluded beach which can only be reached by boat.  You will dine on fresh fish or chicken, tzatsiki, grilled feta with herbs, salad and bread and fruit.  Wine or soft drinks are also provided.   For those wanting absolute privacy, why not hire the whole boat? This can be arranged with or without a BBQ.

Beach Shops.

The Loom.

An Aladdin's cave of a gift shop owned by Mercedes and her daughter-in-law Dina.  They have a cornucopia of pottery, rugs, olive wood, beach clothes, hand-knitted sweaters and jewellry -  that is only scratching the surface.  A visit is a must. They will ship items too bulky or heavy for your suitcase.

Beach Tavernas.

There are three tavernas in the Nissaki Beach area.

Mitsos Taverna.

The Mitsos Taverna stands on the promontory of the original island and has stunning views of the Albanian/Greek coastline and over to Corfu Town.  The taverna has been in the capable hands of the Trifonas family since it was developed by the late Mitsos (Dimitris) some 50 years ago. The business is now run by his three grandsons - Andreas, Dimitris and Josephi.

His son and daughter Lakis and Agathi  remain on hand and help with the smooth running of the establishment, as does Lakis wife Katina. The taverna continues to offer their oft-returning clientele traditional Greek and Corfiot fare.  If you reserve a table I recommend that you go for "Umbrella 3."

Olive Press Taverna.

Also another family-run  taverna. Phillipos provides a wide choice of Greek  and international dishes.  The taverna itself stands above and overlooking the harbour and has lovely views out to sea.

Parea Taverna.

A new taverna in 2005. Freshly and attractively refurbished with lovely views to sea. We look forward to food recommendations.

Water Sports.

Nissaki Water Sports.

In the beach area there is a water sports platform.  The proprietor Spiros offers water ski-ing and tuition, Parasailing, Ringo and Banana rides.       

Sun Beds.

Sun beds and umbrellas are available for hire on the beach. Ask for Fontos, (grandfather of the boat hire Fontos) a remarkably sprightly man for his age who is usually to be found in or around the Mitsos Taverna with a glass of Ouzo-is that his secret?
