                                    EREIKOUSSA

Ereikoussa is an island surrounded by the Ionian and Adriatic Sea with long sandy beaches, crystal clear blue waters and an amazing variety of flora that make it look like an exotic island. It consists of around 150 permanent residents and retains today all Greek authentic traditions. It is the perfect place to experience moments of serenity and peace.
Erikousa is the most northern, inhabited island of the Ionia Sea. It's the second biggest of the island complex called "Diapondia Islands" just 8 nautical miles from Sidari Port (North Corfu). Named after the bush "Reiki" which flourishes during October and makes the island a purple oasis. Erikousa is a hidden gem and a small paradise where guests can relax and come closer to nature. If you love hiking through green mountain alleys and feel amazed by azure Ionian waters, Erikousa should be on your bucket list. The island has two beautiful beaches, Porto, which is the island's main port and Bragini, a quiet sandy beach. Although a small island (just 4,5 sq.kil) you may find plenty of choices for food and entertainment.

                    FETA CHEESE


Feta, the oldest recorded cheese in history - Athens Living Museum
Feta cheese has ancient Greek origins, possibly as far back as the first cheeses made from domesticated animals 8,000 years ago, with mythological accounts like the Cyclops Polyphemus in Homer's Odyssey describing an early form of it. The first recorded mention of a cheese similar to feta, called prosphatos, appears in the Byzantine Empire. The modern name "feta," meaning "slice," emerged in the 17th century, likely referring to how the cheese was cut for storage in barrels. It became widespread in the 19th century and is a national cheese of Greece, made primarily from sheep's or goat's milk and stored in brine.
