City: Corfu (Kerkyra)

Corfu is the cosmopolitan jewel of the Ionian Islands, an island of lush beauty and rich cultural heritage. Unlike the arid landscape of the Cyclades, Corfu is covered in a blanket of olive and cypress trees, earning it the nickname 'the Emerald Island'. Its capital, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of Venetian alleys ('kantounia'), imposing fortresses and elegant French and English-style buildings. From the spectacular coves of Paleokastritsa to the mountain villages and vibrant life of its capital, Corfu offers a unique blend of idyllic landscapes, European history and warm Greek hospitality.

Recommended stay: 6-8 days

Tips for Adventure

Discover the 'twin' beaches of Porto Timoni

A walk from the village of Afionas takes you to this spectacular double bay. It takes some effort, but the reward is one of the most impressive views on the island.

Visit the abandoned Old Perithia

Explore Corfu's oldest ghost town, on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator. It is a trip back in time, and curiously, it is home to some of the best taverns on the island.

A musical culture

Corfu has more philharmonic bands than anywhere else in Greece. Don't be surprised if you come across an impromptu parade or concert at the Spianada.

Cricket is the local sport

Another British heritage. Spianada, the large square in Corfu Town, is the only place in Greece where you will see cricket matches regularly.

Beware of mosquitoes

Being such a green and humid island, there can be quite a few mosquitoes, especially at night. Bring repellent.

Tap water is drinkable

Tap water is generally safe, but many tourists and locals prefer bottled water for its taste.
