Bottled water from the KORPI source. This water comes from the town of Korpi, approx. 12km from Palairos. This village is known as a health resort for kidney patients. Don’t expect a health resort as we know them. Wooden barracks serve as sleeping areas with toilets and washing facilities and a cup or mug. People drink the water from the source all day long. From far and wide, people come here to fill jerry cans and water bottles. This source leads to Vonitsa, at the crossroads to Lefkas and Palairos. You will also see a lot of people filling their jerry cans with water here.

Palairos is clearly visible from the water. Beware of Ifalos lossif when sailing towards Palairos. This is a reef in the middle of the Bay of Palairos.
