Company information

I am 43 years old, married with two lovely kids. We are the 4th generation descendants of Gerasimos Markoras and since Poet’s House is in our loving care, we decided to renovate the house in order to preserve the inheritance for the local community. We will be happy to welcome you in my 400 year old village mansion, where my forebear, the Corfiot poet Gerasimos Marcoras lived and wrote most of his poems. The Marcora family (Italian Marcoran) is one of the oldest aristocratic families of Corfu, coming from Italy in the middle of the 15th century. The first Marcoras held the post of knight and family was written in the Libro d’Oro of Corfu, bearing the coat of arms and the title of Count. poet Gerasimos Marcoras was born In 1826 and he was a student of Dionysios Solomos and partner with Nikolaos Mantzaro. Our priority is to maintain and expand our clients by offering the best of services. All services can be made available upon request and we will be close to assist you and satisfy your needs.

Neighbourhood information

Hikers come around the time because there are designated paths over the house that lead to two small chapels where the view is spectacular because you see the sea in combination with the mountain. The sea is 1.5 km away In winter and more specifically from the month of November until March, people involved in the picking of the olives and the possibility watching and have partition at the whole process. The same applies to the wine production at month September by pressing the grapes! as alternatives very close to the apartments, are restaurants and bar- clubs as fantastic sandy beaches with beach bars at a distance of 1.5 km. at a distance of 3 km is the Moraitika area in which all residents can find super market, butcher (having been in the house garden barbecue is available for cooking, etc.) In Moraitika you need five minutes to get there, there is a health center as exists in Lefkimi area which is a little further and particularly 15 minutes distance. The area is served by public transport bus, 3 times a day with very low cost.the area that the bus is passing is 5 minutes walk from the house. We recommend to rent a car or bike
