I was thinking of buying my wife a nice ring and i wonder if i would have to go to Corfu town ?. Hi Davvo - There are 3 jewellers' shops in the village, one next to Opa taverna, opposite the harbour bar. Then Agas has 2 shops - the first is just passed the dolphin restaurant and the second is just before the crossroad with the main Kassiopi - Sidari road. I know that a lot of people buy jewellery and the quality of the gold is particularly good. Jackie M is correct in saying that are more in Acharavi, a pleasant stroll along the beach from Roda. Julie

We always buy our jewellery from Gold Spot (next to Oupa restaurant) and have always been really pleased with all our purchases.

I always buy from Petros at Gold Spot next to Opa Taverna. I have bought many bits and pieces from him over the years, starting from when his shop was near the Kind hearted place. I bought my daughters 18th birthday present there, she had pointed out something that she liked, I said to Petros do not tell her that I have bought it and she was soon in the shop asking him where it had gone, she was so upset. Beth is now 33 and wears her present everyday.

I have brought lots of jewellery in Corfu, especially in Roda. I have brought in the past 3 rings, a necklace and a bracelet and plan to treat myself to something this year as well!! It is good quality jewellery and one of the rings that I wear daily is about 8 years old and still looks as good as it did when I first got it

We too have bought gold & silver from the "Gold Spot" and you can haggle a bit with Petros..last Sept. my hubby bought me earings, after he treated himself to a bracelet!!!.........many years ago there used to be a jewellers next door to Smileys (now a gift shop) and Yianni the owner made me a gold arm bracelet(which I still wear above the elbow)...sadly he died and we miss him very much, he was a lovely friendly man.Kaz
