Gouvia

Attractions

• Gouviá Marina

Surprisingly enough for such a small village, Gouviá’s marina is one of the biggest in Corfu! It was the first ever privately owned marina in Greece, and was traditionally used by Venetian seamen as a place to rest on voyages between the Adriatic and the Mediterranean Seas.




Walking around the marina today, you’ll see yachts and motor boats from all over the world. The total capacity of the harbour is well over 1000 ships, making the Gouviá Marina the busiest place in the village by far!
