Gouvia Marina,
the first privately owned marina in Greece, is situated about
7 kilometers from the town of Corfu and the International Airport.
For many years seamen considered the harbor and the bay of Gouvia
a natural link between the Adriatic and the Mediterranean Sea
as well as a port of call, where they could sail in, to repose,
enjoying the climate and the beauties of the island.
In the 17th century Venetian seamen selected the area of Gouvia
as an ideal location for creating a naval station and shipyards,
remains of which have survived in the region. This tradition has
been maintainted until today while sailing yachts and motor boats
from all over the world arrive at Gouvia Marina, enjoying the
beauties of the sea and the environment, the cool breeze and the
beautiful island of Corfu.
The Marina, fully organised, offering facilities and services
of high standards, has been operating under the new management
since 1996. The total capacity is 960 berths, on both permanent
and floating pontoons, while there are dry dock facilities for
approximately 520 boats. Moorings are available for boats up to
80 meters long and with 6 meters draught and for period up to
20 years.
