Table of Contents
Corfu is the Greek island that confuses the categories. It's green in a way the Cyclades are not. It has Venetian architecture in a way the Dodecanese don't. It has food with Italian inflections that you won't find in any other Greek island kitchen. And it has a cultural layering — Venetian, French, British, then Greek — that gives it a complexity and richness that the bleached-white postcard version of Greece doesn't prepare you for.
Corfu is the one part of Greece the Ottomans never ruled, which is why it looks so different. Our Greek history timeline explains the Venetian centuries behind it.
The beaches are also exceptional. The west coast cliffs and turquoise coves produce photographs that look unrealistic. Myrtiotissa is consistently listed among the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Paleokastritsa, with its six connected bays and monastery on the promontory, is the island's signature landscape.
Below are the 17 things worth your time, ordered geographically so you can drive them rather than criss-cross the island. Each one has what it costs, how long it takes and when to go.
For accommodation, see Where to Stay in Corfu and Best Hotels in Corfu.
This page is the shortlist of what to see. If you're still at the stage of working out when to come, what a day costs and where to base yourself, start with our complete Corfu, Greece travel guide and come back here.
1. Corfu Old Town (Kerkyra)
Type: UNESCO historic town
Time needed: Half day to a full day
Cost: Free to explore; individual sites €4–8
Best time: Early morning for the old town lanes; evening for the Liston
Corfu Town is the most architecturally beautiful town on any Greek island. The claim requires no qualification. The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the experience of walking through it — especially in the narrow kantounia (lanes) of the Venetian old town — feels less like being on a Greek island and more like being in a small Italian city transported to the Ionian coast.
The Liston — the grand French arcade facing the Spianada, the largest square in Greece — was modeled on the Rue de Rivoli in Paris and built during the brief French occupation of 1807–1814. The cafés beneath the arcade have been serving Corfiots their morning coffee since Napoleon's engineers finished the building. They still do. Sitting at a Liston café at 9am, watching the town wake up across the largest open square in Greece, is a specific Corfu pleasure.
The Old Fortress, a Venetian citadel jutting into the sea on a rocky promontory, is surrounded by a moat and connected to the town by a bridge. The panoramic views from the top — across the old town, the harbor, and the mountains of Albania beyond — are among the best views in the Ionian. The New Fortress (still centuries old, despite its name) on the northwest corner of the town is more accessible and less visited, with a small market and restaurant scene developing in its restored interior spaces.
Behind the main tourist routes, the old town has churches worth finding: the Church of Agios Spyridon (Corfu's patron saint, whose silver-encased mummy is paraded through the streets four times a year), the Catholic Cathedral of Saint James on the Liston, and dozens of small Orthodox chapels wedged into the lanes.
Good to know: Corfu Town has no beach of its own — swimming spots (Faliraki, Mon Repos) are close but modest. The town is best as an evening and morning base, with beach days taking you elsewhere. For dinner, walk away from the harbor front — one street back into the old town finds better food at lower prices.
Best for: Every visitor to Corfu. Do not skip the old town for beach time.

2. Kanoni, Vlacherna and Mouse Island
Type: Viewpoint and monastery
Time needed: 1–2 hours
Distance: 4 km south of Corfu Town
Cost: Free
The Kanoni peninsula holds the view that ends up on every Corfu postcard: the small white monastery of Vlacherna at the end of a narrow causeway, and behind it Pontikonisi — Mouse Island — a cypress-covered rock carrying a 12th-century chapel. Tradition holds that the islet is Odysseus's ship, turned to stone by Poseidon after it delivered him home to Ithaca.
Vlacherna is a two-minute walk along the causeway and free to enter. Pontikonisi itself opens only around 6 August for the feast of the Transfiguration; the rest of the year you look at it, which is the point anyway.
The detail no photograph prepares you for: the airport runway runs along the far side of the lagoon. In August a jet lands over the monastery roughly every eight minutes. Most people arrive expecting serenity and leave having filmed the planes.
Good to know: the viewpoint faces west, so the light is better after 17:00. Parking at Kanoni is tight; the Blue Bus 2a from Corfu Town runs every half hour and drops you at the viewpoint.
Best for: Every visitor. It is fifteen minutes from the Old Town and it is the island's signature image.
3. Mon Repos
Type: Villa museum and archaeological park
Time needed: 1–2 hours
Distance: 5-minute walk from Kanoni
Cost: €4 for the museum; grounds free. Closed Mondays
Mon Repos is a Regency villa built in 1831 for the British Lord High Commissioner, later a summer residence of the Greek royal family, and the birthplace of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in 1921. He left the island as a baby in a fruit crate aboard a British warship when the royal family was exiled — a detail the museum handles with more restraint than it deserves.
The villa itself is modest. The grounds are the reason to come: fifty hectares of woodland running down to the sea, holding the ruins of ancient Palaiopolis — the original Corinthian city of Corfu, founded in 734 BC — along with a ruined Doric temple and a Byzantine basilica. Paths are marked and almost nobody uses them.
Good to know: the grounds are free even when the museum is shut, and they are the best free hour in Corfu Town. Combine with Kanoni in a single half-day — they are five minutes apart on foot.
Best for: History travellers, anyone with a British connection to the island, walkers who want shade in August.
4. Paleokastritsa
Type: Coastal scenery and beaches
Time needed: Full day
Distance: 26 km northwest of Corfu Town
Best time: Early morning before tour buses; September–October for emptier coves
Paleokastritsa is Corfu's most famous natural landmark and fully earns its reputation. A cluster of six interconnected bays on the northwest coast, backed by forested cliffs and dotted with rocky islets, produces water colours that seem digitally enhanced but are entirely natural. The turquoise deepens to sapphire as you move away from the shore. Some coves are sandy, some pebble, some accessible only by small boat.
The Monastery of Theotokos sits on a promontory above the bays — white-walled, surrounded by gardens, with panoramic views that justify the climb. Below, glass-bottom boat trips run between the coves and a sea cave complex that glows an electric blue in the morning light. The boat trip (€10–15, 30 minutes) is one of the best short excursions on the island.
The village of Lakones, perched on the mountain above Paleokastritsa, has the single best viewpoint on the island. The road up is narrow and winding. The view down — through cypress and olive trees to the turquoise coves below, with nothing but open Ionian Sea beyond — stops people mid-sentence every time.
Good to know: Paleokastritsa is crowded in July–August. Go early or in shoulder season. The main beach is organized with sunbeds; for a quieter experience, take a boat from the main beach to one of the smaller coves — the boatmen are informal and inexpensive.
Best for: Every Corfu visitor. This is the island's signature experience.

5. Angelokastro
Type: Byzantine castle
Time needed: 1 hour
Distance: 15 minutes past Lakones, 8 km from Paleokastritsa
Cost: €4
Angelokastro sits on the highest point of the west coast, roughly 300 metres straight above the sea, and it was never taken. It held through three Ottoman sieges and served as the refuge of last resort for the whole northwest of the island — villagers would abandon their homes and climb up here for weeks at a time.
What survives is a ruin rather than a restored castle: curtain walls, cisterns cut into the rock, a small chapel and the remains of the keep. The climb from the car park takes under ten minutes on stone steps. The view from the top runs the full length of the coast in both directions, and on a clear day you can see the Diapontia islands to the northwest.
Good to know: the road up from Paleokastritsa passes the Lakones viewpoint, so the two pair naturally into one morning. The steps are uneven and there is no railing in places — not ideal for very young children.
Best for: History travellers, anyone already driving to Paleokastritsa, view collectors.
6. Myrtiotissa and the West Coast Beaches
Type: Beaches
Time needed: Half to full day
Highlights: Myrtiotissa, Glyfada, Agios Gordios
The west coast of Corfu faces the open Ionian Sea and produces the island's most dramatic beach scenery. Long sandy crescents, towering cliffs, hidden coves accessible by boat, and sunset views over uninterrupted ocean make this side of the island fundamentally different from the sheltered east coast.
Myrtiotissa is consistently cited as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe — small, sandy, backed by sheer green cliffs, and accessible only by a steep 15-minute path or by water. Lawrence Durrell called it "perhaps the loveliest beach in the world." Partly a nudist beach (though in practice mixed). Very limited parking — arrive early or walk from the road. The beauty is extraordinary.
Glyfada is the most popular west coast beach: a long, wide crescent of golden sand with organized sunbeds, clear water, and a beach bar. Beautiful, well-serviced, and crowded in peak season — best on weekday mornings.
Agios Gordios is a long sandy beach backed by dramatic cliffs, with a village that has retained more character than some of the more developed resorts. The Pink Palace hostel here is famous in backpacker lore. Good for body-surfing on windier days.
Good to know: West coast beaches have bigger waves than the sheltered east coast — better for adults and older children than for toddlers in the water. The sunset views from any west coast beach are the best on the island.
Best for: Beach lovers, sunset chasers, surfers, photographers.
7. Porto Timoni and Afionas
Type: Beach and coastal hike
Time needed: Half day
Distance: 37 km northwest of Corfu Town
Best time: Before 10am or after 16:00 — there is no shade
Porto Timoni is the most photographed landscape on Corfu and the hardest of the island's famous places to reach. Two crescent beaches sit back to back below the village of Afionas, separated by a rock spit about forty metres across, with open turquoise water on both sides and limestone headlands rising behind.
The walk down from Afionas takes twenty minutes on a rough, loose path. The walk back up takes thirty-five and is genuinely hard in July heat. There is no road, no taverna, no shade and no water at the bottom — bring two litres per person. In high season a donkey service runs the climb for a few euros, and boats cross from Agios Georgios opposite if the walk is out of the question.
Afionas itself is worth the stop even without the descent. It is a small ridge village with a handful of tavernas and one of the best sunset positions on the island — the viewpoint above the double cove looks straight down onto both beaches at once, which is the shot everyone comes for.
Good to know: wear proper shoes. The path claims ankles every summer, mostly from people descending in flip-flops. Parking in Afionas is limited and fills by 11am. There is no phone signal on parts of the path, so it is worth having travel insurance that covers hiking before you set off.
Best for: Walkers, photographers, anyone willing to trade comfort for the best view on Corfu.
8. Canal d'Amour and Sidari
Type: Rock formations and swimming
Time needed: Half day
Distance: 37 km northwest of Corfu Town
Cost: Free
The north coast around Sidari is built from soft sandstone that the sea has carved into arches, gullies and channels — geology you find nowhere else on the island. The famous one is Canal d'Amour, a narrow rock channel about chest-deep, with the local legend that couples who swim through it together will marry.
Be aware that the natural arch which gave the spot its name collapsed in 2018. Most photographs online still show it. What remains is the channel itself, which is the better part anyway — the water is warm, shallow and clear, and the rock walls are more interesting than the beach. The coves either side, Apotripiti and Loggas, are quieter than the main strip. Cliff jumping here is popular; the exit climb is harder than the jump, and strong swimmers go around to the beach instead.
Good to know: Sidari is a package-resort town and makes no apology for it — English breakfasts, karaoke, the whole apparatus. If that is not your holiday, come for the rocks in the morning and drive on. The cliffs are actively eroding; ignore the people you will see jumping from the high ledges.
Best for: Families wanting shallow warm water, couples, anyone who likes swimming somewhere structurally odd.
9. Cape Drastis and Loggas Beach
Type: Clifftop viewpoints and sunset
Time needed: 2–3 hours, ideally ending at sunset
Distance: 40 km northwest of Corfu Town, 15 minutes west of Sidari
Cost: Free
Fifteen minutes west of Sidari the north coast stops being a resort and becomes something else entirely. At Peroulades, the Loggas Beach cliffs drop roughly forty metres straight into the sea, with a bar perched on the lip of them. This is the best sunset on Corfu and it is not a close contest — the sun goes down over open Ionian with nothing between you and it.
A few kilometres further is Cape Drastis, the island's wildest headland: white sandstone cliffs, sea stacks standing offshore, and narrow strips of sand between them that are reachable only from the water. You can walk to the viewpoint above in about twenty minutes from the parking area. The descent to the beaches is eroded and genuinely unsafe in places — see it from above, or come by boat.
Good to know: the sand at Loggas is narrow and disappears at high tide, so come for the cliff view rather than a beach day. Both spots need a car — there is no useful bus — and the last stretch of road to Cape Drastis is unsurfaced. Compare Corfu car rental rates on DiscoverCars before you arrive — north-coast pickups sell out first in August.
Best for: Sunset chasers, photographers, drivers doing a north-coast loop.
10. The Northeast Coast: Kassiopi, Kalami and Agni
Type: Village and beach exploration
Time needed: Full day
Distance: 35–40 km northeast of Corfu Town
Highlights: Durrell country, crystal-clear coves, exceptional tavernas
The northeast coast of Corfu is where the island shows its most refined face. The stretch from Barbati north through Nissaki, Kalami, and Agni to Kassiopi is a succession of small pebble and rock coves backed by cypress-covered hillsides, with Albania visible across the narrow strait. The water here is some of the clearest in the Mediterranean, sheltered from open-sea waves by the mainland mountains opposite.
This is Durrell country. Lawrence Durrell lived in the White House in Kalami in the 1930s and wrote Prospero's Cell here. His brother Gerald roamed this coastline as a child naturalist in My Family and Other Animals. The landscape hasn't changed much. The White House is now a taverna and simple guesthouse with a few rooms above the water — staying there, or just eating lunch on its terrace with the sea below, is a specific pleasure.
Agni Bay has three legendary waterfront tavernas — Nikolas, Toula's, and Agni — all worth a visit. The bay is accessible only by a small road or by boat. Lunch at one of these tavernas, with your feet near the water, is one of the best meals available on the island.
Kassiopi at the northeast tip is the largest settlement on this coast — a fishing village with a Venetian castle ruin, a harbor lined with tavernas, and a relaxed pace that makes it a good base for the northeast.
Best for: Couples, repeat visitors, swimmers who love clear water, Durrell fans, travelers wanting peace over party.
11. Rent a Boat for the Day
Type: Self-drive boat hire
Time needed: Full day
Cost: €70–120 per day plus fuel, roughly €20
Where: Paleokastritsa, Liapades, Agni, Kassiopi
Several of the best places on this page — the Paleokastritsa coves, the Cape Drastis sand strips, half the northeast bays — are properly reachable only from the water. Hiring a small boat for a day is the cheapest way to get all of them, and it does not require a licence in Greece as long as the engine is under 30 hp.
Paleokastritsa and Liapades have the most operators on the west coast; Agni and Kassiopi cover the northeast. Book the day before in July and August. Fuel is extra and usually quoted separately — ask before you leave the dock.
Good to know: check the wind forecast, not the sun forecast. The west coast gets choppy from early afternoon in a meltemi, and a boat day that started beautifully can end uncomfortably. Morning departures are almost always the better call. If you would rather someone else drove, the same harbours run skippered trips for roughly double.
Best for: Groups of four or more, where the per-head cost drops below a boat-tour ticket and you choose your own coves.
12. The Achilleion Palace
Type: Historical palace and gardens
Time needed: 1.5–2 hours
Distance: 10 km south of Corfu Town
Cost: €7
The Achilleion Palace was built in 1890 by Empress Elisabeth of Austria — Sisi — who chose Corfu as her retreat from the obligations of the Habsburg court. After her assassination in 1898, Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany bought it and used it as his own summer residence until the First World War. The palace was subsequently a casino (as seen in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, filmed here in 1981) and is now a museum.
The palace itself is an eccentric neoclassical structure decorated almost entirely with statues of Achilles — Sisi's obsession with the hero is the architectural theme throughout. The gardens are the real reason to visit: terraced down a hillside with olive trees and sea views, they contain a famous bronze Achilles with spear raised, dominating the terrace with one of the best views of the southern Ionian coast.
The story of Sisi — the Empress who fled Vienna to Corfu repeatedly, who learned modern Greek, who walked the island alone against protocol, and who was eventually assassinated by an Italian anarchist in Geneva — is one of the more extraordinary personal histories attached to any building in Greece. The museum tells it reasonably well.
Good to know: The palace is accessible by bus from Corfu Town. The gift shop is exactly what you'd expect. The gardens justify the entry even if the palace itself is modest.
Best for: History lovers, architecture enthusiasts, fans of the Sisi films and TV series, anyone with children old enough to appreciate a palace story.

13. Paxos and Antipaxos (Day Trip)
Type: Island day trip
Getting there: Boat from Corfu Town, Benitses, or Kavos (1–1.5 hours)
Cost: Day trip approx €40–55 including boat
The day trip to Paxos (and especially Antipaxos) is the best single day available from Corfu, and one of the best island day trips available anywhere in the Ionian.
Paxos is a small, gently hilly island — the third smallest inhabited island in Greece — covered in ancient olive groves and containing one of the most charming harbours in the Ionian at Gaios. The Blue Caves on the northern coast, accessible only by small boat, glow an electric blue that makes the Capri Blue Grotto look modest.
Antipaxos, a 30-minute boat ride from Paxos, has beaches — Voutoumi and Vrika in particular — with water clarity and turquoise intensity that belongs in the Caribbean, not the Mediterranean. The sand is white and soft. The water is warm. There is almost nothing there except the sea and a couple of tavernas. It is extraordinary.
Day trips run from multiple Corfu departure points in summer and include both islands. Book in advance — these sell out in peak season.
Good to know: The water at Antipaxos is best in the morning before the tour boats arrive. Day trip itineraries typically spend 2 hours at Antipaxos and 1–2 hours at Paxos. If you want more time on Paxos, it's worth an overnight stay. See our Paxos Travel Guide.
Best for: Every Corfu visitor. The Antipaxos water alone justifies the trip.

14. Corfu's Interior: Olive Groves and Hilltop Villages
Type: Scenic drive and village exploration
Time needed: Half day
Highlights: Pelekas, Doukades, Sinarades, Lakones
Corfu has an interior that most visitors never see — an estimated four million olive trees, hilltop villages with views over both coasts, traditional kafeneions where time appears to have paused, and a landscape that Lawrence Durrell described as "the garden of the gods." A half-day drive through it, even without a specific destination, produces experiences that beach-only visitors miss entirely.
The village of Pelekas sits on a ridge offering views over both the west coast and the Corfu plain. The so-called "Kaiser's Throne" — a lookout point above the village used by Wilhelm II for sunset watching — has an extraordinary 360-degree panorama. The village square has a good traditional taverna.
Doukades and Sinarades are two of the best-preserved traditional villages on the island — stone houses, narrow lanes, village churches, and the kind of quiet that implies the 21st century hasn't arrived yet. Sinarades has a small folk museum in a traditional Corfiot house.
The drive through the interior also passes through the lemon and kumquat groves that make Corfu's agricultural landscape distinctive. Kumquat liqueur is the island's signature souvenir and genuinely good — not sweet in the way most fruit liqueurs are.
Our guide to Greek drinks puts kumquat liqueur alongside the island spirits you'll be offered elsewhere in Greece.
Best for: Drivers, travelers on second or third visits, anyone who wants the island beneath the beach-and-harbor surface.
15. Mount Pantokrator and Old Perithia
Type: Mountain summit and ghost village
Time needed: Half day
Distance: 40 km north of Corfu Town
Best time: Early morning — haze kills the summit view by 11am in summer
Mount Pantokrator at 906 metres is the island's roof. You can drive to the summit monastery on a narrow but well-surfaced road, or walk up from Old Perithia in about ninety minutes on a marked path that is genuinely hard to follow in one or two places. On a clear morning you see the whole of Corfu, the Albanian mountains across the strait, and — in winter light — the outline of Italy.
Old Perithia, on the northern flank at 450 metres, is the island's oldest village and the better half of the trip. Around 130 stone houses and eight churches, built high and inland deliberately — pirates. The population peaked near 1,200 and now runs to single figures out of season. Four tavernas operate in summer and the rest of the village is beautifully empty. Lunch here costs roughly what lunch on the coast costs; the difference in atmosphere is enormous.
Good to know: the summit is shared with a cluster of telecom masts, which nobody photographs and everybody forgets to mention. The view is still worth it. Take a jacket — it is reliably ten degrees cooler at the top than at the coast.
Best for: Walkers, drivers, repeat visitors, anyone who wants a day out of the heat.
16. Corfu at Easter
Type: Festival
When: Orthodox Easter, movable — 12 April in 2026
Cost: Free
Book: Accommodation by January
Corfu's Easter is the most theatrical in Greece and the single best reason to come outside summer.
Holy Friday brings three separate epitaphios processions through the Old Town, each led by its own philharmonic band playing Italian funeral marches — a Venetian and British inheritance you will not hear anywhere else in the country. On Holy Saturday at exactly 11am, the balconies around the Liston and through the old town throw clay water pots into the street. Thousands of them, simultaneously. The noise is physical. The streets afterwards are ankle-deep in terracotta, and people take shards home for luck.
Sunday is quieter and more conventional: lamb, family tables, and the island emptying out into the villages.
Good to know: this is a Greek pilgrimage weekend, not just a tourist event. Corfu Town hotels sell out months ahead at peak-season rates. Book by January, or stay outside town and drive in. Stand back from the balconies and wear shoes you don't mind losing.
Best for: Anyone who can move their dates. It is the one week of the year Corfu is unambiguously the most interesting island in Greece.
17. Eat Corfiot: Pastitsada, Sofrito and Bourdeto
Corfu has the most distinct food culture of any Ionian island, shaped by four centuries of Venetian rule and the Italian culinary influence that came with it. You'll find dishes here that exist nowhere else in Greece.
The essentials: Pastitsada (pasta with braised meat in tomato sauce and spices — specifically cinnamon and cloves) is the defining Corfu dish. Sofrito (veal or beef in a white wine, vinegar, and garlic sauce) is equally Venetian in its bones. Bourdetto (spicy fish stew with red pepper) completes the canon. None of these appear on Greek island menus elsewhere. Finding them on a Corfu menu is the point.
Breakfast culture: Corfu has a stronger café culture than most Greek islands. The Liston arcade in Corfu Town is the place for a morning coffee — expensive by Greek standards, but the setting justifies the premium once. For the local alternative: any kafeneion in the old town backstreets serves the same coffee for a third of the price.
For evening dining: The old town streets running away from the waterfront harbor better food at lower prices than the harbor-front tavernas. Splantzia-adjacent lanes in Corfu Town are the local recommendation.
For Corfu-specific dishes: Ask specifically for sofrito and pastitsada — they're not always on menus but almost always available if requested. These are dishes that require advance preparation and won't appear on every menu every day.
Corfu is the one Greek island where the dish list matters more than the restaurant list — but both matter. Vaggelis has the full rundown, including which harbour-front places to walk past, in our guide to the best restaurants in Corfu.
Practical Tips for Corfu
Before you go. Flights, ferries, transfers, month-by-month weather and what a day on Corfu actually costs are all covered in our complete guide to Corfu, Greece. This page assumes you're already coming and want to know what's worth your time once you land.
Arriving on a cruise ship? Eight hours ashore is a different problem, and the shore excursions sold on board are not always the sensible way to solve it. We've costed them against booking the same thing yourself in our guide to Corfu tours and excursions.
- Pre-book your transfer from the airport with Welcome Pickups — fixed price, no stress.
- For cheap flights to Corfu, compare deals on Kiwi.com — searches across all carriers.
- Had a disrupted flight getting here? You could be owed up to €600 — check with AirHelp.
How many days. Four to five days is ideal for Corfu: two beach days (west coast one day, northeast another), one day for Corfu Town, one day trip to Paxos and Antipaxos, and one day for the interior and Achilleion. Three days works if focused. A week in Corfu with exploration of the south coast and inland villages is not too much for the island's variety.
Corfu versus other Ionian islands. Corfu is the most culturally rich of the Ionian islands and the most architecturally distinct. For beach-focused travel with more dramatic scenery, Kefalonia and Lefkada are strong alternatives. For a direct comparison, see our Corfu vs Crete guide. If you're planning around who you're travelling with, see planning a Greece trip for families, couples and groups. For where Corfu sits among all Greek islands, see best Greek islands to visit.
Staying connected: Non-EU visitors face high roaming charges on Greek networks. Activate a Yesim eSIM before you fly — instant setup, no physical SIM, works the moment your plane lands in Greece.
