About Corfu:

First on the list is Old Corfu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s like stepping back in time. The narrow, winding streets are lined with quaint shops, colourful houses and cosy cafes. A visit to the Liston Promenade is a must—it’s where the locals hang out and people-watch while sipping on their coffee. And don’t forget the Corfu Fortress for a taste of history and stunning views over the city.

For a beach day, Paleokastritsa Beach is hard to beat. With its crystal-clear waters and beautiful surroundings, it’s a great spot for swimming, snorkelling or just soaking up the sun. The nearby Monastery of Paleokastritsa is worth a visit, too, for some peaceful moments and panoramic views of the coast.

A bit of adventure awaits at Canal d’Amour in Sidari. Legend has it that couples who swim through this natural canal will be destined for marriage. Whether that’s true or not, the scenery is definitely Instagram-worthy! Plus, the surrounding area has some lovely spots for a bite to eat or a refreshing drink.

When hunger strikes, The Venetian Well in Corfu Town is a must-visit. This charming restaurant is tucked away in a picturesque setting and serves up delicious Greek cuisine with a modern twist. The moussaka and lamb dishes here are particularly noteworthy, and the ambiance is perfect for a romantic dinner.

Another great spot is Taverna Agni, located by the beach in the northern part of the island. It’s renowned for its fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes. Picture dining al fresco with the sea breeze and a view that makes every meal feel like a special occasion!
