Corfu

6 h

Corfu is the greenest of Greece's Ionian islands: cypresses, olive groves and citrus orchards descend to turquoise coves. The capital Kerkyra keeps a UNESCO-listed old town with Venetian fortresses, the Liston arcade and the Campiello quarter. The Achilleion palace with its Achilles statues stands inland, Pontikonisi islet carries a Byzantine chapel, and sandy beaches alternate with rocky coves. People come for the sea and Italian-accented food.

Old Fortress

1 h 30 min

The Old Fortress of Corfu (Palaio Frourio) is an imposing 16th-century Venetian citadel built atop a rugged rocky promontory east of Corfu Old Town. Separated from the mainland by the seawater moat Contrafossa, the fortress withstood numerous Ottoman sieges. Visitors can explore ancient ramparts, British military barracks, the unique neoclassical Church of Saint George, and a hilltop lighthouse offering 360-degree views of the Ionian Sea.

Spianada Square

22 min

The largest square in Greece: a wide green field between Corfu old town and the sea by the Old Fortress. Along its eastern edge runs the Liston arcade from the early 19th century, its cafés spilling onto the pavement for the traditional aperitif. Cricket is still played on the lawn — a legacy of the British period — and the evening stroll around it is a local ritual.

Holy Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna

30 min

A tiny convent on a narrow causeway at Cape Kanoni, one of Corfu's most recognizable scenes: whitewashed walls, red tiles and a bell tower among cypress trees. Across the water lies the islet of Pontikonisi, the famous Mouse Island. Planes pass directly overhead on final approach to the airport, drawing photographers every day. Inside works a small church of Panagia with icons; the spot is especially pretty at sunset.
