Kritika is in south Corfu, near Lefkimmi, and is approximately 40 km from Corfu Town. The drive takes around 50-60 minutes.

• Parking: Parking is informal and generally available along the main road or side streets.
• Accessibility: The village is on flat plains, making it very easy to walk around and highly accessible.

• The Cretan Heritage: The village's primary point of interest is its history, founded by refugees from Crete ("Kriti").
• Proximity to Lefkimmi: Kritika is just a stone's throw from the south's main town, Lefkimmi, offering easy access to more shops and the charming riverside.
• Authentic Atmosphere: This is a place to see local Corfiot life as it is lived, with a central church and quiet residential streets away from the tourist bustle.

Amenities in Kritika itself are very limited, reflecting its small, residential nature. You will find a traditional kafenion and perhaps a small, family-run taverna. For a full range of amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, and bars, the large town of Lefkimmi is just a few minutes away.

What does 'Kritika' mean?

How close is it to a beach?

The nearest major beaches, such as Bouka Beach in Lefkimmi or the resort of Kavos, are a 5-10 minute drive away.
