Petriti
PLACE
Our idyllic fishing village lies in the southeast of the beautiful and is 25Km away from the capital of Corfu. Apart from the mass tourism, the romantic village offers all the shopping facilities, cocktail bars, and taverns; some evenings Greek dancing parties also take place. Petriti, with its delightfully harbor for fishermen, early in the morning or in the evening is crammed with all ages fishermen. It is interesting to observe how big fishes are caught; the big nets become outspread, and then is collected together as 100 years ago.
Petriti, with only 700 inhabitants, was called in Ancient Greek Egrypos. Egrypos is deduced from “Ev-rous”, which means good river-course, because in the region always existed a lot of water.
Egrypos lies among the green forest, from where you invite peaceful migrates, through the 200 old trees. Gladly we give you tips for individual walks up on which you can detect easily the wonderful and outstanding panorama. Worth of seeing is our breath caching mountain village Korakades with its miracle-made picture behind the church, the church itself with its bewitching picture icons, ornaments and frescoes, and the hospitality of the old people, who never leave their houses.

RESTAURANT
& POOL
Slacken from the stress that usually tourists have and enjoy our garden. Simply ask to bring you in the hands freshly harvested oranges, or rest plainly in the hammocks, in the pool or in the lower-case massage cabinets. Meanwhile your children amuse themselves in the children cabinet or in the playground.
You will find excellent amusement in the audit – and games – corner, for you and your family.
In the evening allow yourself a friendly atmosphere in our tavern, or a glass of house wine and a nice conversation by the pool bar. Spoil yourself with the original Greek and Corfiot gastronomic delicacies that are prepared with care and affection.
For the half pension (3 Course Menu) we offer to you with much effort a variety of home-made food like fresh fish that we daily catch in our coast. Also the vegetarians and those who suffer from allergies have no chance of not being satisfied.
Petriti
HISTORY
The origin of village reaches till the antique past. Almost all the inhabitants from today’s “Petriti” have existed at that time in the mountain village “Korakades”, and had their vine, fruit and vegetables fields and fishing boats in “Petriti”.
For thirty years approximately Korakades was menaced by a landslide, for that reason you will be determined in Petriti to admit. You build your house in the side of the Mediterranean Sea, so your work becomes easier, as well as the work of a peasant or fisherman.
Today we still assemble our community in the church of Korakades for holiday weddings, baptisms and happy events.
Egrypos: At the beginning of the 14 th century, Egrypos was undertaken from the family of Petriti, which comes from the Tarauto/Italy and were great land owners. In the Egrypos harbor lay often the Venetian arm navy boats. Later, the place of the family Palatianos became a legend.
