Ermones

The area attracts many swimmers who visit it to admire the magnificent scenery and experience the beach traditions and legends.

According to legend, Nausica, the daughter of the king of Corfu Alkinoos, found in the closed bay of the castaway of Ermones. The Homer's description fits the Bay Ermones and the river where Ulysses falls asleep, gives a lovely touch, even today, in the wild landscape of Ermones.

According to another tradition, one of the rocks surrounding the bay of Ermones is a petrified pirate, who in his attempt to steal a picture from the church that stands atop a hill on the beach, was "petrified" after shots of the Virgin Mary. Indeed, the shape of the rock looks like a human figure.

The area of Ermones is 15klm away from Corfu town, while access to the site is easy, since there is good road network.
