Approximately 4 km long and 1 km wide, Gouvia in Corfu has become one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island, offering both lively nightlife and quiet hillside spots. The resort has a definite nautical ambience due to the Gouvia Marina. It boasts a large yacht marina and was once a historic Venetian naval base. At one end of the beach of
Gouvia you will find a ruined Venetian arsenal and the precariously beached wreck of a yacht. Adjoining Gouvia is the village of
Kontokali while 1 km inland is Danilia, a purpose-built, Greek-style village where folklore performances are organised for evening trips. The beach of Gouvia is 500 meters away from Spiti Prifti and 1,5 klm or so from the Blue Flagged, sandy beach
at Kontokali. The Gouvia marina operates all year round on a 24-hour basis
