About Nissaki
Nissaki is a peaceful and picturesque village on the northeast coast of Corfu Island, just 25km from Corfu Town.
A small road reaches the exquisite, but tiny, white shingle coves. Nissaki means “little island” in Greek. In the past, according to the old people, Nissaki was a small rocky island, which joined with the mainland of the village through the years. Mitsos Taverna still stands on what used to be the “little island”.
