Islands - Orthoni
Orthoni is the largest of the Diapontia islands with dramatic
changes in its landscape. Hills with pines, cypress and olive
trees, sudden cliffs and sea caves are found on the island.
Legend says that one of the caves is the cove of Calypso,
the beautiful bride which kept Odysseus jailed seven years
until she finally helped him escape and return to Ithaca.
Orthoni is the most western border of Greece, just seven
miles from Sidari and with 200 inhabitants divided into two
villages, Ammos and Chorio.
In the area of Xilosermi, the sudden cliffs are called "to
koukouli tou Frantzezou" which makes for an impressive sight.
The lighthouse of the island is thought as one of the best
in Greece with a visibility of 25 miles.
Orthoni can be reached by ferryboats from the port of Corfu
town with two or three departures a week, or with smaller
boats from Sidari.
