About Kato Korakiana - presentation, information, photos and recommendations
The village is a wonderful cultural place set around a village square with a wide choice of bars, tavernas and shops. There is plenty to see and do around the village which also has many festivals through out the year.
Due to its geographical position, being close to Corfu town and the coast but set in a beautiful verdant wooded area its history is varied and interesting. There are many ancient remains in the area including medieval buildings, byzantine churches, monasteries, the bridge of Ora which is made of carved Corfiot marble and brick and the medieval Polylas Tower.
Another landmark to be found here, is the Grava tou Menigou, which is an unusual geological phenomenon. Water flows into a tunnel and disappears and according to experiments carried out over 70 years ago, the tunnel leads to an underground river which flows under the sea and comes out somewhere near Preveza on the mainland. Red dye was put into the water and several days later villagers in Preveza thought the waters from a local spring were running with blood.
Kato offers wonderful country walks, great history, a wide variety of food and drink, friendly locals and wonderful scenery and is well worth staying or visiting this lovely village and area.
