Located on the east coast just north of Corfu Town, Gouvia occupies the central point of an almost completely enclosed natural bay, once a Venetian naval base and now Corfu's main marina, with berths for several hundred yachts. Close to the marina stand the dramatic ruins of the Venetian Arsenal, built in 1716. Slightly inland, the resort's bustling main street and the nearby main road offer a huge choice of snack bars and restaurants featuring a range of cuisines, and later on in the evening a vibrant nightlife. The main beach and adjoining shallow coves consist of sand and shingle, and the sea is generally very calm. Watersports of all kinds as well as boat trips are available. It is a very poignant place as this is where the Serbian soldiers landed in the first world war and there is a commemorative area dedicated to them
