Ipsos location:
On the NE coast of Corfu island, opposite Albania and the Greek mainland. 15km NW of Corfu Town and the airport. On a flat coastal strip, with the small village of Pirgi positioned just behind.
General Description:
Although located in a scenic setting, with fine views along the coast to Corfu Town and green hills inland, the resort itself is brash and noisy. Ipsos mainly comprises a broad, straight main road just above the beach, with the "strip" packed along the inland side. This road is something of a speed track, which makes access to the beach hazardous for pedestrians, although traffic warning lights and some pedestrian crossings have been installed. There is a quieter but no less gaudy resort road leading inland to Pirgi, which along with the neighbouring village of Analipsis is being quietly swallowed up by the main Ipsos area.
