It is the Westernmost part of Greece; it is a small heavenly place, with scattered settlements, a few rented houses, a couple of taverna's around the port, relics of Venetian fortresses and a sensation of absolute serenity. Othoni is the biggest of the isles to the north of Corfu.
You can wander in the cobbled streets with the traditional houses, the old churches, the relics of the Venetianfortress and enjoy the enchanting view. The scenery with hills up to 393 meters offers endless possibilities for trekking.

On the island there is a police station and a port authority office, as well as a local GP.
