Overview:

Komeno hardly qualifies as a resort as it is more a tiny settlement surrounded by olive trees, lying 350 yards off the main road running from Corfu Town to the N of the island. It is basically a residential area full of exclusive gated private villas, and access to these and the hotels is by way of a road so narrow that traffic lights are needed at either end.

The "centre" consists of a small general shop disguising itself as a "supermarket", a small restaurant and a scooter-hire place. There is an unsealed road that leads to a small chapel out by the bay which makes for a nice walk.

This area of Corfu is suitable for those wanting a quiet holiday mainly suited to mature couples. Nothing for children or teenagers.

There are a few large hotels with all amenities, generally tucked away from any hustle and bustle. There are private rooms for rent, and one small block of apartments.

Locality:

Komeno is on a tiny peninsula jutting from the east coast of the island, (it is 7 mls N of Corfu Town and airport and 16¼ mls SW of Kassiopi). It is halfway between Corfu Town and Ipsos. On the north side of Gouvia Bay, on a hilly wooded headland, facing vast Gouvia marina on opposite side.

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

The beach is limited to a minuscule sliver of sand near the chapel and those of the hotels.

There is hardly anything outside the hotels, the nearest varied shops at Dassia which is a mile away, or Gouvia, which is 1½ miles away.

Daytime and night time entertainment is situated in the hotels and at nearby Dassia and Gouvia.

There are one or two tavernas relatively close to the hotels, otherwise just one small restaurant. Choice at Gouvia or Dassia.
