Whether you’re drawn to stunning natural landscapes, rich history, or panoramic views, this tour provides an unforgettable experience.
1. Paleokastritsa
Known for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic cliffs, Paleokastritsa is one of Corfu's most stunning locations. Here, you can explore the serene beaches, visit the Byzantine Monastery of the Virgin, perched above the sea, and take in breathtaking views of the Ionian Sea. The surrounding lush greenery adds to the area's charm, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and photography.
2. Achilleion Palace
Step into the world of Greek mythology and imperial history at Achilleion Palace. Built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria in the late 19th century, this grand palace is dedicated to Achilles, the legendary Greek hero. Admire the impressive architecture, stroll through the beautifully landscaped gardens, and marvel at the striking statues and panoramic views over Corfu and the Ionian Sea.
3. Kaiser’s Throne
For sweeping panoramic views of Corfu, head to Kaiser’s Throne, a hilltop spot that once served as a retreat for Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany. From here, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable vista of the island, its coastline, and neighboring Albania. The stunning scenery makes it a must-visit location for nature lovers and photographers.
4. Kanoni
Kanoni offers one of the most iconic views of Corfu, with the picturesque Mouse Island (Pontikonisi) and Vlacherna Monastery framed by the blue waters of the Ionian Sea. This small, tranquil area is ideal for a leisurely walk, offering spectacular photo opportunities, especially when the planes come in for their approach to Corfu Airport.
5. Old Corfu Town
Step back in time with a visit to the charming Old Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through its narrow alleys, explore Venetian architecture, and discover quaint squares and vibrant markets. Highlights include the Liston Promenade, Spianada Square, and the imposing Old Fortress. The Old Town is perfect for soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying local cafes, boutiques, and artisan shops.
6. Ypapanti Church in Kommeno
Ypapanti Church, located in the picturesque village of Kommeno, is an unmissable stop for those seeking tranquility and beauty. Set on a small islet just off the mainland, this quaint church is accessible by a charming footbridge. The church, with its whitewashed walls and blue-domed roof, offers a serene atmosphere, and the views from here of the surrounding coastline and the Ionian Sea are absolutely stunning. This exquisite church, which used to be called The Church of The Pentecost, was built in 1713 during Venetian rule by Daniel Kombitsi, the offspring of a Cretan aristocratic family who came to Corfu in 1669 after the fall of Candia, modern day Iraklion.
