Ereikoussa Island

Address: Ereikoussa (Erikoussa) Island, Ionian Islands, Greece

Admission: No admission (public island)

Ereikoussa is a small Greek island in the Ionian Sea, part of the Diapontia islands northwest of Corfu in the Ionian Islands region. It is a compact, low-lying island with coastal beaches, small bays and a single primary settlement serving local residents and visitors.

The island is known for its sheltered coves, shallow beaches and quiet rural character rather than large built monuments or extensive tourist infrastructure. Visitors typically come for swimming, short coastal walks and a taste of small-island life.

Ereikoussa lies off the northwestern tip of Corfu within the Ionian Islands administrative region, forming part of the small island group that marks the outer reaches of the Ionian archipelago.

From Corfu (Kerkyra) - Ereikoussa is one of the Diapontia Islands northwest of Corfu and is reached by boat. In summer there are regular passenger ferries and seasonal excursion boats from Corfu town (the New Port) as well as from northern Corfu harbours such as Sidari/Acharavi; crossings typically take on the order of tens of minutes to about an hour depending on route.

By road on Corfu island it’s roughly a 30-40 km drive from Corfu town to the northern embarkation points (about 45-60 minutes by car along the island’s main coastal roads). On arrival at Ereikoussa the harbour is adjacent to the village, so only a short walk (a few minutes) is needed to reach accommodations and beaches.

• Ereikoussa is one of the small Diapontia islands north of Corfu and is served by infrequent boat connections from Corfu-check schedules in advance and plan onward/return trips carefully.
• Services on the island are limited outside high season, so confirm accommodation and cash/merchant availability before you go.
