Low green hills and quiet beaches in the Diapontian Islands.
Ereikoussa is a small inhabited island northwest of Corfu, with a broad sandy beach, olive groves and a close-knit seasonal community.
Porto is the main settlement and arrival point, opening directly onto a long, shallow beach. Footpaths cross the low interior through olives, cypress and the heather that gave the island its name.
Ereikoussa has a handful of rooms and tavernas rather than a resort economy. Its appeal is simple swimming and walking at the outer edge of the Ionian, with community ties extending to a large diaspora.
Practical information
Seasonal boats connect from Corfu Town and Sidari. Confirm sailings, bring cash and essential supplies, and allow for cancellations when northwest winds rise.
