Paleokastritsa

The north-western coast of Corfu is home to the beautiful holiday resort of Paleokastritsa with its numerous lovely bays, a lively harbor and beautiful natural surroundings. This place offers stunningly  transparent sea water and many secluded rocky coves which are ideal for  snorkeling, paddling, scuba diving etc You have also the opportunity to drive by boat, owned or rented to  all nearby bays and spend the day by the beach, away from the crowds.  Apart from places to swim, there is plenty of accommodation and tourist services along the coast road.

Corfu Old Town

Corfu’s Old Town is a great place to discover for many reasons. It is a great place to visit after you have become tired of beach life and offers several historical buildings of unic architecture, including the two Venetian Fortresses, the Palace of St George and St Michael, a very interesting archaeological museum, the Mon-Repos gardens  and many more.

You may easily spend the whole day here walking around the picturesque streets and discovering what they have to offer. Needless to say, Corfu is also a great place to try out Greek and international gourmet cuisine, the local Corfiot food and wine, excellent pastries and exciting night-life.

Kassiopi

Kassiopi is one of the most popular tourist destinations in northern Corfu. Unlike the north coast’s beach-focused resorts, Kassiopi is a bustling small town set around a scenic harbour and overlooked by the remains of a Byzantine castle. Kassiopi is an old fishing village which has retained its charm. Although most of the buildings are new it has been developed sympathetically to Corfu’s traditional Ionian architecture. It’s particularly pretty at night with the lights surrounding the horshoe-shaped harbour reflecting in the water.

Vlacherna Monastery

The Vlacherna Monastery is located a few meters south of Corfu’s international airport and is almost completely surrounded by water. The monastery was built on an islet that is connected to the mainland by a narrow footpath and offers beautiful views over the sea and the picturesque villages along the shore. The runway of Corfu’s international airport begins only a few meters away from here, and incoming planes come incredibly close making the place a very popular spot for photographers.

Porto Timoni Beach

Porto Timoni Beach is located on Corfu’s western coast and is widely considered one of the island’s best beaches. It is located in a secluded bay that can only be reached on foot or by boat and is surrounded by steep cliffs that give the beach its rugged charm. This twin beach and its surroundings are a real highlight for people in search of untouched nature and there are also several viewpoints here that are great for photography. Due to its remoteness, visiting the beach feels like a real adventure.
