Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Gimari is a small traditional village on Corfu. Known as Yimári, the settlement is designated a traditional settlement in the Municipality of North Corfu. A green hillside reaches down to the sea, giving the place a distinct landscape. When choosing where to stay, two specific points are worth considering: the village’s traditional character and its location between the hillside and the coast. Nearby beach and hiking options, along with the range of accommodation, can help you work Gimari into your Corfu plans.

Beaches and hiking nearby

Kalami lies north of Yimári and has a pebble beach; Agni lies south of Yimári and also has a pebble beach. Since both have the same type of beach, their locations are the clear difference. Agni offers two points to consider when choosing where to go: in addition to its pebble beach, it is a small traditional quarter of the Municipality of Yimári. The surrounding area also has many paths for hiking to nearby coves or to the village of Yimári. This makes it possible to choose between the beach and hiking when planning your day; a hike can be planned with a cove or the village as its destination. The coast and paths offer different ways to explore the surrounding area.

Hotels and holiday rooms in Gimari

Gimari has several hotels, holiday rooms, and tavernas. For overnight stays, hotels and holiday rooms are different types of accommodation available in the village; tavernas add to what is on offer. Check availability for your preferred property or room on your travel dates. When choosing the village, you can first consider whether its small traditional character and hillside location suit your planned beach or hiking activities, then look for specific accommodation.

Cultural sights on Corfu

Corfu Town’s Old Town offers a distinct cultural focus on Corfu. Its historic urban fabric is almost completely preserved; the buildings date from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Together with its two fortresses, the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Unlike the small traditional village of Gimari, the focus here is an entire historic urban fabric. These different scales can help you decide between a stay in the village and additional cultural interests in the city.

The Museum of Asian Art in Corfu Town’s Old Town houses more than 11,000 objects from China, Japan, India, the Himalayas, and Central Asia. This gives it a distinct thematic focus within Corfu’s cultural offerings. From Corfu Port, the museum can be reached by bus line 2 on the Mantouki–Kanoni route. Check the timetable before your trip.

Another archaeological theme on Corfu is presented at the Archaeological Museum of Corfu: the Gorgon Medusa pediment from the great Temple of Artemis. The pediment was created in 585 BC and excavated in 1911 near the Aghioi Theodoroi Monastery. This lets you choose among different cultural interests on Corfu: urban history, Asian art, or an ancient archaeological object.
