Located in the historic center of Corfu, the UNESCO-protected Old Town is a wonderful place to explore. Its Venetian-style buildings house traditional shops, inviting cafes, and charming museums that offer a glimpse into the island's rich history.
The Achilleion Palace was built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria and is a stunning example of neoclassical architecture. The palace and its beautiful gardens are full of Greek mythology-inspired art and sculptures, making it a must-visit spot for history enthusiasts.
A charming village, Pelekas is the perfect place to have a quiet lunch break after exploring the palace. With its narrow winding streets and traditional buildings, this village is a beautiful reminder of the island's relaxed, laid-back atmosphere.
With its clear blue waters and stunning cliffs, Paleokastritsa Beach is a true Mediterranean paradise. It's an ideal place to relax and soak up the sun, while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery.
Located in the heart of Corfu Town, the Spianada Square is a great place to end the day. Surrounded by imposing buildings, this public square is the largest in Greece and offers stunning views of the Old Fortress.
To get around Corfu on this itinerary, we recommend renting a car or hiring a private driver. Public transportation can be unreliable, and taxis can be expensive.
With a rental car, you can easily reach all the spots on our itinerary and have the freedom to explore at your own pace. Expect to pay around €30-€40 for a one-day rental, plus gas.
If you have more time in Corfu, consider adding a visit to the Byzantine Museum, the Church of St. Spyridon, or the Mon Repos Palace. If you're interested in outdoor activities, try hiking to the top of Mount Pantokrator or taking a boat tour around the island.
If you have less time, you can skip the beach or visit fewer spots in Corfu. We recommend prioritizing the Old Town and Achilleion Palace for a glimpse into the island's rich history and culture.
