Things To Do Around Corfu

With its bright blue oceans, picturesque mountains and alluring architecture, Corfu may be the most charming of the Greek islands. If you're interested in historical landmarks, visit the Palaio Frourio, a fortress built by the Venetians in the 15th century. The Church of Agios Spyridon is another must-see landmark. This basilica built in honor of Corfu's patron saint is an elaborate 16th-century architectural confection.
Lovers of castles are sure to enjoy the Achillion Palace, which was once the summer home of an Austrian empress. Today, the beautiful villa boasts an immaculate garden and a wealth of statuary. Visitors should also be sure to check out the Palace of St Michael and St George. This palace has been converted into a museum displaying Asian art.
Corfu has a number of beautiful beaches. Visitors should check out Kassiopi, a relaxed resort area with clear waters and a stony beach. If you're looking for an isolated beach environment, try Glifada.
