Paleokastritsa - coves you won't forget
Rocky coasts and beautiful beaches encourage exploration of Paleokastritsy . By yourself - diving in one of the wonderful bays - or during a boat trip. The surrounding caves (Nausika Cave and Blue Eye Cave) will be remembered for a long time. The transparency of the water is really amazing - there is little space for sunbathing, so it's worth being here in the morning.
The Order of the Virgin Mary towers over the coves - from where divine views spread. The building itself is very charming - there are beautiful gardens, a small museum and you can meet the monks living here. It is worth going to the top of the walk, because the car park upstairs is small and the driveway is narrow and steep.
A short distance from Paleokastritsy is also the Angelokastro Castle , or the castle of angels. If you love taking pictures of landscapes - go there necessarily, the view from the highest hill in Corfu makes a staggering impression.
During the holidays it is worth going to these areas - deciding to buy an optional trip, renting a car or using buses running around the island.
Love Channel in Sidari - try not to fall in love
A must see place during your holidays in Corfu. The legend says that whoever crosses the cave will fall in love for the rest of his life. Is it true? It is worth to see for yourself! Especially since the place is really charming. Living in one of the hotels in Sidari, the Love Channel can be reached on foot. Great hotels are also in Roda , Kassiopi and Acharavi from where buses run - the cost of the trip is a few euros. You can also go to Sidari by car or on an optional trip.
A short walk along the narrow paths leads to some great viewpoints in the area. Trekking enthusiasts can go to the beautiful Cape Drastis . The walk will take about an hour, but such views are definitely worth going there. In our opinion, one of the most interesting places in Corfu.
Kerkira - the capital of the Greek island of Corfu
There are many tourist attractions in Kerkira. Starting from the Old and New Fortress , from which there is a beautiful view of the island's panorama. When walking towards the city, it is worth stopping at Spinada Square to relax by the fountain, admire the flowers or watch the cricket game.
The streets of the city of Corfu are very charming - it is worth spending an hour circling them without much purpose, and you will definitely come across something interesting. Street musicians, stalls with delicious fruit, souvenir shop or an opportunity to taste a local delicacy - kumquat liqueur.
The island's capital also has the Vlacherna Monastery - a charming place on a small island next to the airport . Airplanes landing above their heads can provide excitement, especially since the approach zone is located just above the picturesque Monastery, and the airport lane is one of the shortest in Europe! You can reach the place for a few euros by city bus or taxi.
There are also ships departing from Corfu to Albania , where you can go on a day trip.
Achillion - the residence of the Empress Sissi
A few kilometres from the capital of the Greek island, the palace was erected by Empress Sissi. Elżbieta Bawarska, because her real name was the ruler of Austria, was a real eccentric - she was famous for her tight waist, which she owed to extremely tight corsets. She also had a real hop of Achilles, whose sculptures and paintings in various poses will certainly not miss you during your visit to Corfu.
From the beautiful gardens there is also a great view and even for him it is worth visiting the Museum in Achillion . The ticket costs 8 euros, but it is worth to be here in the morning, because during the holiday season it is really crowded.
Porto Timoni - bays that bring you to your knees
If you love beautiful views and sandy beaches - Porto Timoni is just right! The trail to the double bay is quite demanding, so this attraction is not for everyone! However, the views and color of the water are amazing.
For the rest of the day, go to the nearby town of Agios Georgios, where there is a sandy beach and several taverns with delicious food.
