If you're looking at holidays in Corfu, then you're probably already in the know. Gardeno (Vitalades) , this little gem has remained undiscovered by most. Missed off most tourist itinerates and loved by the locals, Gardeno just about qualifies as a hamlet. This is the place you go if your honestly want to get away from it all. Two tavernas. One bar. An escapist's heaven.
The long sandy beach of Gardenos is practically unknown to outsiders, but the locals stream here. Float on your back in the crystal clear sea. Take in the beautiful backdrop of green hills. The gentle splash of canoe paddles, the unfurling of sails in the wind and playful squeals in the shallows are the only sounds you'll hear. Gardeno is one of the lesser developed areas and natural beauty dominates over the hotels, apartments and private villas. The backdrop is a curtain of olive and cypress trees dropping down to green fields. As soon as you arrive in Gardeno beach and inhale the fresh sea air, a sense of seclusion and isolation will wash over you.
