Corfu, the heart of ionian islands, is a centre of tourist life during the peak season. Apartments as a means of accommodation are gaining popularity and there are more and more offerts to choose from. One of the most interesting websites I found recommends unique set of apartments located in beautiful green gardens in Gouvia.
The set contains of 20 self-catering and spacious apartments totally refurbished few yearsa go. On the website there are many pictures presenting pools full of aquamarine water and gardens with tropical plants and palm trees.
The town of Gouvia is famous for its harbour, hosting innumerable small boats and yachts, all colourful and typically Greek. Due to the town and harbour being situated in a curved bay Ionian Sea waters are always peaceful there. And the town itself is a bit secluded because hidden among hills, though not far away from the capital. Gouvia boasts many small bays and safe beaches that provide swimming space even for little children as these waters are warm, shallow and never rough.
Even though the atmophere there seems to be calm and even a bit dull during the day it must be highlighted that the town truly lives only after the sun had set. Then the night life begins: tavernas , bars and clubs are open till the early moring hours. Parties in clubs usually begin at 8 pm but they won’t fully develop till 11pm. And it is not a rarity to meet effete tourists coming back home at the crack of dawn.
