WHERE TO GO
Once you choose your destinations of Corfu to visit, you will see that each of them is placed in a different part of the island and to discover them all for sure you will need a car.
You definitely will want to walk through the narrow streets of Old Town and visit Old Fortress, New Fortress and Corfu Old Port. Exploring Corfu Town you may also go shopping to the traditional Greek street market Laiki Agora. There you will find fresh fish and a huge variety of seafood of all kinds, famous corfiot kumquats and spices & herbs for a main dish of Corfu local cuisine – Pastitsada.
Canal D’Amour (Channel of Love), the absolute top-spot of Corfu Island for those who are in love, situated in the North part of the island, in traditional greek village Sidari. The legend says that those who will swim between sandy cliffs inside the sea will stay together in love forever. After refreshing sea-walk you may relax at the beach or try some local foods in a nice tavern with a sea view.
Porto Timoni and Cape Drastis, spots with the most breathtaking views of Kerkyra, are located on the west coast of the island. You can combine visiting the area with chilling on Logas beach and finish the day with a glass of wine in 7th Heaven Cafe and take a photo on its famous glass balcony.
Agios Gordios, the most beautiful sandy beach of Corfu, spotted in the Southwest coast of the island. You will need about an hour to reach the area from Agios Georgios. But you will be fully rewarded for a long road with the gentle sand, warm turquoise water, many nice beach bars and free Wi-Fi.
ADVICES
- The absolute must-visit spot in your Corfu vacation is the Kanoni area. A small bridge over the sea, Vlacherna monastery and tiny island of Pontikonisi will make up a great whole-day tour. Take a picture in the midst of a taking-off plane to memorise the moment!
