This is one of our favourite ways to spend a morning on the northeast coast. Start with a swim at Kerasia — often called the most beautiful beach in Corfu — then drive the short distance to the harbour village of Agios Stefanos for a long waterfront lunch. Simple, unhurried, and lovely.
9:30 AM
Kerasia Beach
Arrive early at Kerasia to enjoy the beach at its best. The turquoise water set against cypress-covered hills is genuinely stunning. Hire a couple of sunbeds, swim in the crystal-clear water, and take your time — there's no need to rush.
Tip
The beach is quieter before 11am. Bring snorkelling gear — the water clarity here is exceptional.
12:00 PM
Agios Stefanos Harbour
Dry off and drive five minutes to the pretty harbour village of Agios Stefanos. Take a stroll along the waterfront, browse the small gift shops, and watch the fishing boats and yachts in the harbour.
12:30 PM
Waterfront Lunch
Pick one of the tavernas lining the harbour for lunch. Eucalyptus is a reliable favourite — generous portions of home-cooked Corfiot food at very reasonable prices. Fresh grilled fish, calamari, and a classic Greek salad with a cold carafe of house white is hard to beat.
Tip
Ask what fish came in that morning and go with the recommendation. The pastitsada at Eucalyptus is also well worth trying.
You could easily reverse this itinerary — starting with coffee and a wander in Agios Stefanos before heading to Kerasia for the rest of the day. Either way, it's a perfect half-day out and everything is within ten minutes of the villa.
