The local village of Liapades and village history There is a main church in the centre of the village square and other churches elsewhere in the village. Liapades is famous for some of the best wine made on Corfu. There is a very large selection of fantastic local restaurants, on the main road down towards the beach, serving both traditional local food and other mediterranean foods. Superb pizza, and other great dishes with large portions at The Village Diner. There are a few wonderful bars in the old village square, also a traditional taverna with reasonable prices and the best gyros I've tasted in Greece. A villa nearby, above the stunning and renowned Rovinia beach, was built and owned by the Tennant family and features in Emma Tennant's book 'A House in Corfu' - (here is an extract from the book's synopsis): 'A House in Corfu is the story of one of the most beautiful places on earth, still astonishingly unspoilt, on the west coast of Corfu. In the early 1960s, Emma Tennant's parents, on a cruise, spotted a magical bay and decided to build a house there. This book is the story of that house, Rovinia, set in 42 hectares of land above the bay where legend has it Ulysses was shipwrecked. A House in Corfu ... celebrates... the joy of belonging to a timeless world; the world of vine, olive and sea.' Boat trips/hire with a captain is available from Vasilis, please ask for details. Liapades is a picturesque and traditional Corfu village situated on a hill, with its own shops, bars, restaurants and amenities and with amazing access to several beautiful and secluded beaches. The house is situated less than one minute walk to the main old village square where there is a small supermarket, a church, a cafe, two bars and a taverna. Just below the village square there is a bus stop with buses connecting to Paleokastritsa and other stops on the way to Corfu Town. Within a decent walk of Liapades village there are various secluded beaches and coves for sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling in the glorious clear blue Ionian sea. A few minutes further down the hill on the way to the main beach, there are many more restaurants with pools, larger supermarkets, hotels and a couple of bars with low-key nightlife. As a customer, (ie. if you pay to eat and drink), it's possible to swim all day in the pools of the restaurants and cafes on the main road that runs down from the village to the beach. At Liapades main beach, approximately 10 minutes' walk downhill from the house there are boats and pedalos to hire, guided boat tours around the island and nice beach bars to buy food and drinks. Some of the village streets in Liapades are very narrow and cobbled so, unless you are confident driving through small roads, we recommend a smallish car for getting around, e.g. a VW Polo or a Nissan Micra.
