Around the beach, there is a beautiful natural landscape with lush vegetation and paths surrounded by centuries-old olive groves, ideal for walks and cycling. Skidi is located between the beautiful beaches of Prasoudi and Kanouli.

HALIKOUNA BEACH

Villa Casa Alta Mare in Skidi, in the southwestern part of Corfu, is just 5 minutes from Korission Lake and the famous Halikouna Beach. Korission Lake is the most important wetland of Corfu. It has an area of ​​6,000 acres and is a protected area within the Natura network due to the biodiversity of the area. The rich ecosystem of the area includes more than 100 species of birds, among them flamingos and cormorants. A small wooden bridge allows the passage to the opposite bank to the point where the lake is connected to the sea. This image, combined with the impressive dense cedar forest, looks like it came out of a travel guide for the wonders of nature. The lagoon is famous for the roe deer (buffalo) and the delicious fine shrimp that deserves to taste fried.

​

WHAT TO DO

​

​

Halikouna beach, a huge sandy beach of about 3 km, one of the most impressive of Corfu, spreads along Korission Lake, dividing the lake and the sea. An impressive natural landscape that has remained unchanged from the tourist movement. With a sandy beach and shallow, deep waters, it is ideal for families with young children and relaxing moments by the sea. Due to the winds that blow in the area, Halikouna beach is also a pole of attraction for Kite surfing and windsurfing friends. It is also famous for the wonderful sunset, while, although it is one of the most popular beaches on the island, its area is never crowded.
