Liapades is a small, picturesque village tucked into the cliffs of Corfu’s western shoreline. Its winding paths, crystal‑clear waters, and traditional architecture make it a must‑visit for travelers seeking authenticity away from the bustle of popular tourist spots.

Why Liapades Stands Out
Unspoiled Beaches – The main beach is a shallow lagoon with turquoise water perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
Historic Charm – The village’s stone houses, narrow alleys, and ancient church give it an old‑world feel that feels almost timeless.
Local Cuisine – Small tavernas serve freshly caught fish, olives, and homemade cheeses, offering a taste of Corfu’s culinary heritage.
Navigating the Map of Liapades
When you arrive in Liapades, start at the main square where the church stands. From there:
Head east along the cliffside path to reach the beach; the trail is shaded by olive trees and offers panoramic sea views.
Turn north into the residential area to explore local shops and craft stalls.
Return south via a winding lane that leads to a small chapel overlooking the bay.
The map’s key landmarks are clearly marked: the beach, church, tavernas, and the cliff‑top viewpoint. Use a paper copy or a digital map app; GPS signals can be spotty in this remote area.
Nearby Villages Worth Visiting
Liapades is part of a network of charming villages along Corfu’s western coast. A short drive (or a scenic hike) will take you to:
