No, not at all. Ano Korakiana is a large, vibrant, and fully inhabited village with a strong local community, schools, and its own philharmonic band. It offers a look at real, modern Corfiot life in a historic setting.
Yes, and that's part of the fun! The best way to explore is to embrace the maze of narrow *kantounia* (alleyways) and allow yourself to wander without a map.
