Placed 14km far from Corfu town, Ipsos is the most tourist & commercial resort along the West coast of Kerkyra. The village is developed following the coast and permits the tourists to choose between many entertainment and services for both day and night. Ipsos is a tourist place ideal for young people, appreciated a lot by English in particular for its very long beach and several disco clubs. Behind IPSOS town there’s the Pantokratoras mountain, while in the front there’s a stunning view over Albania coastline. The part of Ipsos town that is far away from the coastal road and the area close to the small port are calmer and are adapted for the families.
Just above Ipsos is the village of Pirgi. Originally Ipsos and Pirgi were two seperate villages but time has made them grow together and become one because of all the houses and hotels that were build in the area.
The two villages share a slightly curved beach with sand and pebbles and it is also refered to as "the golden stretch". In the background is the Pantokrator mountain. These places are well suitable for people that travel alone and it is very English orientated. In the villages there are plenty of bars and there are parties going on. More fish and chips are served that traditional Greek cuisine so it would be unfair to call them typical authentic Greek traditional villages. Before and after the highseason IPSOS beach, just like the villages are much more quiet. During this period they are also suitable for families. There is a good busservice between the villages and Corfu town
