Vrijstaande woning in Agios Markos

Elxis proudly presents the second phase of the Fortezza Bay View Villas, a project developed by Urban Soul Project, a renowned Thessaloniki-based architectural studio, situated near the traditional village of Agios Markos and the popular beaches of Ipsos and Barbati.

Following two highly successful projects in Corfu, both of which have already sold out, Fortezza Bay View continues this legacy with seven distinctive villas overlooking the sea, Corfu Town, and the sunrise beyond. The development consists of four smaller “cave” villas (Fortezza Bay View I) and three larger villas (Fortezza Bay View II). The first phase is sold out and currently under construction, while the second phase is currently available for purchase. The project occupies a secluded, amphitheatrical plot on the outskirts of Pyrgi village, between Ipsos and Barbati, ensuring privacy, tranquillity, and spectacular elevated views of the two Venetian Fortezzas of Corfu Town.

These exceptional villas combine a two-storey contemporary structure with a cave section, offering a total of 150 sqm living space and seamlessly blending modern architecture with natural elements. Their plots range in size from 540 sqm to 1,283 sqm. There is now one last villa available and its plot measures 665.60 sqm.

Each residence features three spacious en-suite bedrooms: one located on the upper level of the main structure and two within the cave section, offering privacy and unique character. A guest WC serves the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area on the ground floor, which opens onto the outdoor spaces through large sliding doors.

The exterior has been designed for both comfort and visual appeal, featuring a 33 sqm infinity pool, a landscaped garden, and a green roof that integrates harmoniously with the surrounding terrain. Additional amenities include a covered al fresco dining area under a pergola, an outdoor shower, and private parking for two vehicles.

Rental Potential
With their strategic location, superior architectural design, and premium construction standards, the villas present an excellent opportunity for short-term rental investment. Corfu is among the most visited destinations in Greece, attracting hundreds of thousands of international travelers throughout the year. The island’s extensive network of direct flights to major European cities further enhances its appeal, ensuring strong occupancy potential and consistent rental returns.

Location – distances
Agios Markos (Saint Mark) is a traditional Greek village located on the northeast side of Corfu, overlooking Pyrgi and Ipsos with its pebble-stone beach. The village offers stunning views of the island’s northeast coastline, the City of Corfu, and its two Venetian fortresses, the Old and New Fortezza. It is surrounded by low hills and woodlands, offering access to numerous walking trails that lead toward the village of Spartilas and the summit of Mount Pantokrator, Corfu’s highest peak. Dating back to the 11th century, Agios Markos is protected by the Ministry of Culture for its significant historical heritage and distinctive Venetian architecture.
