The Story

A poignant marble column erected in 1957 bears witness to a somber history—the tragic passing of Georgis Botsaris in 1807, son of the legendary Souliot warlord Notis Botsaris, at the tender age of 23. His life was cut short by a ruthless band dispatched by Ali Pasha for reasons that linger in the annals of time.

Analipsi Corfu

As you approach the settlement, the Analipsi church on your right proudly lends its name to the verdant hill. Continuing your journey, taking the right-hand path leads to the summit, crowned by the church of Agia Marina. The vista from here is a true spectacle, with Halikiopoulos lagoon, the sea channel, the rugged Epirus mountains, and the sweeping Garitsa bay with its ancient fortress all unfurled before you.

As you circle back to Analipsi, an invitingly tranquil suburb, veer left to reach “Louri”, a plateau that once hosted the lively Analipsi festival.
