Corfu boasts nearly innumerable places of interest. One of them is Liapades, located a stone’s throw away from Corfu city. Situated on the west coast,a bout 2o kilometres from Corfu town, at the northern tip of an area called “the Ropa Valley”. Beneath the town itself, located high abouve sea level there is Liapades beach. Liapades has not changed much throughout history. It still is a tiny place with only 1000 inhabitants, typically Greek, soaked with mediterranean spirit.
Liapades is divided into two parts: the one located around the beach, just 800 metres from the town centre is a district totally devoted for tourists. There are many hotels, restaurants, places of entertainment and many more. What is truly special about Liapades is that it never gave up to globalisation and lost its unique spirit. There you can still listen to typical Greek music, eat Greek food and see Greeks doing their jobs. Going for a market can be really gripping: to see things that are offered: beautifully made souvenirs, pieces of clothing. Try to haggle a bit, you won’t be disappointed. Hostory left its mark in the town as well. There is a beautiful church of St. Anastasia that was built around 1600-1630 AD. It is really worth visitng as in recent years it was restored to its previous state .
