The Area
Iola is situated on the exclusive promontory of Kommeno, just 11km (a 20-minute drive or taxi ride) north of Corfu Town, with its UNESCO World Heritage centre, and its excellent range of shops, restaurants, bars and nightlife.
The nearest beach, Spilios, is a 5-minute walk away (10 minutes back up steps) and has a bar, taverna and water sports equipment. There are several other tavernas within walking distance (some of which are along an unlit road without pavements) while an adjacent 5-star hotel offers a selection of more upscale options.
The nearest towns with amenities (mini-markets, shops, bakeries, cafés, etc) are Dassia and Gouvia, a few minutes' drive away. They both also have beaches with water sports facilities and, where the latter is concerned, a busy marina.
There are also plenty of activities for kids nearby.

We could not have had a more wonderful stay. Iola is perfect in every way-gorgeous home inside and out, spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds and bedding, an amazing workout room, and so much more. All of the staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We had such a wonderful experience and didn’t want to leave. We highly recommend Iola and The Thinking Traveler!!
