The traditional village of Kouramades, located in the lush central interior, hosts a quintessentially Corfiot festival on August 15th. Known for its agricultural heritage, Kouramades offers a “local-first” experience that feels like stepping back in time.

The festival takes place in the central village square, where the local community gathers to honor the Panagia. The music is traditionally Corfiot, focusing on the clarinet and violin, which drive the high-energy circle dances. This is an intimate, welcoming celebration where visitors are treated like neighbors. If you want to escape the crowded resorts and see how a true Corfiot village celebrates the “Summer Easter,” Kouramades is the perfect choice.
