Guide to Cremythas

'Rustic Corfu at its best – Cremythas will win your heart with its simple charms, winding country walks and nearby pebbled bays.'

How does this sound? Lazy mornings following mountain trails that command heart-stopping views over the blue straits of Corfu. A late lunch of lemon-drizzled dolmades followed by a mouth-watering, home-cooked stifado at a hidden, hillside taverna. And a leisurely afternoon return to the kind of rural Corfiot village you thought didn't exist anymore.
That's what you'll get in Cremythas. A small, cosy hamlet of traditional stone houses and the occasional restaurant and shop. It's like a little portion of old-world Corfu that's somehow been separated from the island's herd of big, touristy coastal resorts. Here, the empty summer days are made-to-measure for walks in the tranquil countryside. Find an unmade track, and follow it, just for fun. Put a day aside to scale the heights of Mount Pandokrator and experience the magnificent panorama of farmland laid out below its summit. And finish with an amble around Strinylas, a pretty hamlet at the foot of the mountain, where the cool air revitalises walkers and casual visitors alike.
When you fancy time on the beach, the many pearly-pebbled coves around nearby Kassiopi are sure to please with their clear blue waters and sun-soaked rocks. And when you finally feel the 21st century calling, Kassiopi also presents the perfect excuse for a morning's shopping and sightseeing. Potter around the ruined medieval castle before hunting for bargains and then settling at a pavement cafe for a relaxing al-fresco coffee or ouzo. Life couldn't get much better, could it?
