The Venetian old town, beautiful beaches and lush green landscape that make Corfu the most elegant and diverse island in the Ionian Sea.
Corfu Old Town — UNESCO World Heritage
Corfu Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the finest Venetian old town in Greece — a beautiful, atmospheric town with Venetian palaces, French arcades (the Liston), Byzantine churches, the Old and New Fortresses and a labyrinth of narrow streets (kantounia). The town is one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean and is best explored on foot.
Paleokastritsa
Paleokastritsa is the most beautiful resort in Corfu — a stunning series of small coves with crystal-clear turquoise water, a dramatic clifftop monastery and extraordinary scenery. The snorkelling and diving are excellent. The resort is on the northwest coast and is the most photographed location in Corfu.
Kavos
Kavos is the most famous party resort in Greece — a lively, vibrant resort at the southern tip of Corfu with a long beach, hundreds of bars and clubs and a 24-hour party atmosphere. It is the best choice for young travellers seeking a lively nightlife holiday. Our travel partners have excellent packages to Kavos.
Achilleion Palace
The Achilleion Palace, built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Sisi) in 1890, is the most famous historical attraction in Corfu — a beautiful neoclassical palace with extraordinary gardens and views of the sea. The palace was later owned by Kaiser Wilhelm II and is now a museum. The gardens are particularly beautiful.
Olive Groves
Corfu has the most beautiful olive groves in Greece — the island has over 3 million olive trees, many of them centuries old. The landscape of silver-green olive groves, cypress trees and wildflowers is extraordinary. Cycling and walking through the olive groves is one of the finest experiences in Corfu.
Canal d'Amour
The Canal d'Amour at Sidari is one of the most unusual natural features in Corfu — a series of sandstone rock formations with narrow channels and small coves. According to legend, couples who swim through the canal together will be together forever. The area has beautiful beaches and is popular with families.
Kassiopi
Kassiopi is the most charming resort village in northeast Corfu — a beautiful fishing village with a Byzantine castle, a small harbour, excellent restaurants and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere. It is the best choice for visitors who want a quieter, more authentic Corfu experience.
Corfiot Cuisine
Corfiot cuisine is the most distinctive in Greece — influenced by Venetian and French cooking, with dishes like sofrito (veal in white wine and garlic), pastitsada (beef or cockerel in tomato sauce) and bourdeto (spicy fish stew). The local kumquat liqueur is a Corfu speciality. The restaurants in the old town are excellent.
