Corfu Town in the late 1970s: Part Three - The environs

The third and final part of the photos I scanned from an old guidebook. Ten photos of some beaches, villages and famous places around Corfu Town as they were in the late 1970s. The first thing we could notice by looking at those pictures is that the island still wasn't so touristically exploited as it is today. There were fewer hotels, apartments for rent and other establishments related to tourism. As a result, the island back then was greener, purer and cleaner.

Ipsos, mostly untouched as well from the road to Spartylas

Kommeno bay without the villas on its hills

     Glyfada, the most popular beach of the island 

 Kassiopi, a major touristic coastal village at the northeast
