Nissaki, located on the beautiful north east coast of Corfu has been a well kept secret for many years.  If your taste is for natural unspoilt scenery, an uncommercialised village resort, waterside tavernas and not bars, clubs and discos then Nissaki is the place for you.  The village of Nissaki is located at the foot of Mount Pantokrator making it an ideal base for exploring this beautiful part of the island, on foot, by car, or by boat. The name Nissaki means "little island" and as the older people say, was the name of the small island that was joined with the mainland by the many years of pilling up from the work that was done in an old nearby query. That original island is now joined to the land.
