Ano Korakiana

Ano Korakiana is a beautiful and traditional Corfiot village built at the foot of the mountains Korentis and Korakio from which it got its name. Ano Korakiana extends linearly in the direction east-west, around two parallel roads which are its backbone. It is a medieval village which has broadly maintained its architecture intact. Many old churches (a total of 37) and the house where, the Bandiera brothers lived while organizing their participation in the Italian revolution, are the most significant sights of the village.
