Prinilas village has a panoramic view over the bay of Agios Georgios and the sunsets here are
legendary. There is a taverna where you can gaze at the sheer cliffs as they descend down to the
small beach and the sea. The village has a small kafeneion.
The most common surname in the village is Gialopsos possibly deriving from the ancient Greek
expression “aigialon opsontes” meaning “they will see the sea”.
Prinilas constituted the administrative centre of the Byzantine domination in the 11th century. The
past prosperity can be seen with the impressive mansions of the 20th century, that are scattered
around the village. Take a walk in the traditional alleyways and visit the chapel of Agios Nikolaos
which dates back to the 14th century. Although small, the history is tangible in the very walls of the houses and mansions. All this information was kindly supplied from the books written by Steve Ford and the money raised from sales of these goes to Corfu Charities.
