subject: Poet's House Villa Apartment for Vacations Holidays in Corfu Kerkyra Greece [print this page] Holidays in Corfu, Greece with comfort and hospitality
I am a 4th generation descendant of Gerasimos Markoras and since Poet's House is in my loving care, I decided to renovate the house in order to preserve the inheritance for the local community. I will be happy to welcome you in my 300 year old village mansion, where my forbear, the Corfiot poet Gerasimos Markoras (1826-1911) lived and wrote most of his poems. Now it is a little historical treasure and a romantic place for vacations.
The house is set on the top of Stronghili, a small traditional village, tucked in the hillside and looking across the lush green valley towards the traditional villages of Agios Mattheos and Ano Garounas. It is ideally located away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and yet close enough to shopping and dining areas. The Corfu town centre is about 25 km away. The beatiful beach of Agios(Saint) Ioannis Peristeron is 2 km away and Halikounas Water Island and beach is 7 km away. The resort of Moraitika is 3 km away where a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops can be found.
I will be happy to welcome you at Poet's House of Corfu and I am sure, you will have great stay in this historical place, from where you can start discovering Corfu's secret beauties, culture and traditions in your holidays..
