Chlomos is one of the most beautifull and very old villages settled on the top of a hill in the South part of Corfu island, with wonderful view to the mainland Greece, all the east part of Corfu island, but reaching the place from the middle of the island, having the opportunity climbing up to see also all the lake Chalikounas from the top.

Its mainly Venetian architecture and the harmonious colours of the houses distinguish Chlomos from all the other villages of the island, and make it one of the most beautiful villages in Greece.

The view from the village next to the cemetery called Balcony of Corfu is breathtaking and its about 320 m high

Built in the 13th century, surrounding its main square, it is one of the first inhabited villages of Corfu, with a rich history and much speculation about the origin of its name.

Wander the antiquated, cobbled streets and discover the character houses, draped in bougainvillea, with flowerboxes of vibrantly coloured geraniums adorning their patios. Of historic interest is the 15th Century mansion inhabited by Thomas Paleologos, brother of Emperor Constantine Paleologos.

Stroll through the village and discover hidden gems like the “Ionios Anemos Hand Made Products”, the traditional grocery store-cafe in the main square, the little pottery, as well as scattered markets and cafes.
