CorfuGreece's Emerald Island of Elegance & Heritage

Corfu Town: A UNESCO-Protected Living Museum

The island's capital wears its aristocratic past with grace.

• Old & New Fortresses — Panoramic sea views and historic ramparts.

• The Liston Promenade — Modeled after Paris' Rue de Rivoli — ideal for elegant café culture.

• Palaces & Piazzas — The Palace of St. Michael and St. George, Spianada Square, and Venetian alleyways.

Corfu's Coastlines

Green hillsides tumble down to some of the Ionian's finest shores.

• Paleokastritsa — Mythically linked to Odysseus, with towering cliffs, sea caves, and turquoise waters.

• Glyfada — A lively beach resort with golden sands and crystal waters.

• Myrtiotissa — Often called the most beautiful beach on Corfu, framed by lush greenery.

• Canal d'Amour (Sidari) — Unique rock formations and romantic legends.

Nature, Trails & Panoramic Vistas

Beyond the towns, Corfu rewards the explorer.

• The Corfu Trail — A 220-km route through cypress groves, ancient villages, and olive-covered hills.

• Mount Pantokrator — The island's highest peak, with 360° views across the Ionian, Albania, and the mainland.

• Paxos & Antipaxos — Crystal-clear waters, sea caves, and hidden coves a short sail away.

Corfu's Distinctive Culinary Fusion

Corfiot cooking is unlike any other in Greece: pastitsada (slow-cooked beef or rooster in cinnamon-spiced tomato sauce), sofrito (veal braised in garlic, parsley, and white wine), local cheeses, fresh Ionian seafood, and the British-introduced kumquat liqueur.
