Nymphes is a captivating inland gem, steeped in local folklore and breathtaking natural beauty. Nestled amidst dense olive groves on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator, this picturesque village is famed for its natural springs and waterfalls, which, according to legend, were once the bathing spots of the ancient Nymphs. Nymphes offers a refreshing contrast to Corfu's coastal resorts, providing a peaceful escape into traditional Corfiot life, rich mythology, and verdant landscapes.

Nymphes is in the north-central part of Corfu, 30 km from Corfu Town. The scenic drive takes around 50 minutes.
The waterfalls are at their most impressive in Spring (April-May) and early Summer (June) following the winter rains. By late August and September, they are often reduced to a small trickle or may be completely dry.
Nymphes is a great choice if you have a car and your priority is exploring the mountains and the north of Corfu while staying in a peaceful, authentic location. It is not suitable if you want to be within walking distance of a beach or lively entertainment.
The village is built on a hillside, so be prepared for some slopes and uneven paths in the older sections. However, the main square and surrounding streets are easily walkable.
