Written by Dan · 5 min read · Doukades is widely regarded as one of Corfu's most beautiful and authentic traditional villages. A protected settlement, it has preserved its stunning Venetian architecture and narrow, car-free lanes. The village's heart and soul is its magnificent central square, shaded by an ancient plane tree and ringed by colourful neoclassical buildings. This square is not just a landmark; it's a renowned culinary destination, drawing visitors and locals alike to its excellent tavernas. A visit to Doukades is a step back into a more gracious and picturesque Corfu.

Yes, for dinner in high season (July and August), it is highly recommended to book a table, especially if you want to sit outside in the main square. The tavernas are very popular.
While the village is charming at any time, it truly comes alive in the evening. The atmosphere in the square as it fills with diners under the plane tree is magical.
The main square is flat and easily accessible from the car park. However, exploring the historic upper parts of the village involves climbing steep, ancient cobbled paths that require sturdy shoes.
