Close to popular Sidari, Erikoussa remains the peaceful island with few visitors who
are spread out on its beach near the port of Porto. The inhabitants are about 330 and
the island consists of five districts.

The quiet blue sea and the green hills, with colourful homes on its sides, make for an
impressive scene. There is one hotel on the island and is close to the port, together
with the cafeterias and tavernas.

Climbing the hill behind the port, we reach the beautiful sandy beach of Faro or Fiki,
secluded with crystal clear water and a view towards the east. In the distance we see
the mountains of Albania.

In Erikoussa the Epirus influence is heavy in the local songs and food. The
housewives of the island make unique and delicious pites (pies). During Easter the
local speciality is tsilikourda (Tripe cooked with oregano, garlic and Wine).

The island is served by a ferry service from Sidari and Ag. Stefanos
