AGNI BEACH COTTAGE

PROPERTY HISTORY

Agni Beach Cottage has been in the Katsaros family since it was built in 1898. Originally part of a Kafenion (cafe), it served local residents and traders traveling to Corfu Town and the surrounding areas. At that time there were no roads so all travel was either on foot through the various donkey trails or by sea. Many of the bays along the coastline formed part of the network suppling goods and public transport to the local area. When roads were eventually built and this service was no longer required, the cottage became a family summer house for over three generations. In 1990 a road down to Agni Bay opened, expanding the possibilities for tourism in Agni Bay. In 1998 the cottage was renovated and became available for summer rentals for the first time. Since then the owner Harris Katsaros, who inherited the property from his grandfather Harilaos,  along with his wife Louise have continued to refurbish and update the property making it into the charming, comfortable and cosy beach cottage it is today.
