Conveniently located just 9 km from the city center and 4-5 km from the beautiful beaches of Agios Gordios and Glyfada, this house has great potential. With a swimming pool addition, it could easily be transformed into a tourist accommodation, benefiting from its proximity to the beaches, the city, and nearby amenities such as the National Road of Pelekas-Corfu, which offers a variety of shops, as well as the famous National Road Achilleion- Corfu.
