Kaminaki Holidays

Kaminaki Holidays – A small, relaxed, romantic Corfu village
Breaks in Kaminaki are for those who really do want a quiet, small, away- from-it-all, traditional Greek coastal village resort. The village is 22 miles from the capital Corfu Town and the airport. It is little more than a hamlet and is well off the mass tourist trail. Don’t choose a holiday here if you are looking for plentiful entertainment as the village has just a couple of tavernas, and a minimarket for basic shopping. The charm of Kaminaki is found precisely in its modest “facilities”, its traditional stone houses, its old-style village atmosphere and its setting amongst pretty olive groves. This is a tiny place reached by a steep winding road that drops from the main east coast road.

Holidays in Kaminaki – Secluded, uncrowded and great for children
Kaminaki beach is an unspoilt, clean and quiet stretch of bright white pebbles and fine shingle with beautiful calm green-blue water popular with snorkellers and very safe for small children. The beach is secluded but easily accessible, largely flat and is not bothered by traffic. The steep track down to Kaminaki beach tends to keep away the crowds. Boats are for hire from the jetty and there are modest water sport options. Kaminaki will appeal to families with children and anyone looking for real peace and quiet and the simple pleasures of friendly local tavernas, one of which is set on the hillside with fine views. Kaminaki is not for restless teenagers with a hankering for action!

Holidays to Kaminaki - Hire a small boat to explore hidden coves
The romance of Kaminaki lies in its small size, its water, its beach and its setting amongst hills covered with olive groves and cypress trees. Should you wish to get away for the day you could hire a small boat to explore the many delicious beaches, coves and inlets of the beautiful northeast coast of Corfu, many only reached easily by sea. A cheap holiday here could also include walks or car trips into the hills around Mount Pantokrator, Corfu’s highest peak. Walkers will enjoy the coast path that leads to the nearby chapel of St Arsenius, the large caves, the headlands and a visit to the tavernas of the neighbouring Krouzeri bay.
