I like to stay ahead of things in case anyone gets sick. Does anyone know where I can get good medical attention in case anything bad happens (God forbid)

Another great way to have peace of mind while traveling is to get trip insurance! You seriously never know. Good policies aren't much at all, and most even include emergency medical evacuation.

Hiking trails on Corfu?

I’m starting to look more seriously at Corfu for a future trip, and one thing that really appeals to me is the landscape. The island seems greener than many other parts of Greece, and I’ve heard there are some beautiful hiking opportunities with coastal views, hills, and even mountain scenery.

I’d love to include a few hikes in my itinerary, but I’m not sure where to start. Are there particular trails that stand out for scenery or overall experience? I’ve come across mentions of the Corfu Trail, but I’m also curious about shorter routes that could be done in half a day.

For those who have hiked there, how difficult are the trails generally? Any recommendations for specific areas, viewpoints, or routes that are especially memorable?
Also interested in practical tips, best seasons, footwear, or things to watch out for.

Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions!

First Impression of Corfu?

I was talking with a friend recently who’s been to Corfu many times, and it sparked an interesting question. It’s been over 30 years since his first visit, and he realized he can’t quite remember what his initial impression of the island was anymore. Not what he thinks of Corfu now, but how it landed the very first time.

That made me curious about other people’s experiences. Do you remember how Corfu felt to you on your first visit? Was it the landscape, the Old Town, the food, the pace of life, or something less tangible? Did it meet your expectations, or surprise you in some way?

When a place becomes familiar over time, those first reactions tend to blur or get overwritten by later memories. I’d love to hear from anyone who can still recall that first moment of arrival — what stood out, what confused you, or what made you want to come back.

Religious Orthodox Sites to See in Corfu?

I might be going to Corfu soon and recently heard that there are some really meaningful Greek Orthodox sites on the island—but of course, I didn’t write them down and now I can’t remember what they were.

I’m definitely interested in seeing more than just beaches and would love to experience some of the religious or spiritual side of Corfu while I’m there. I’ve heard there are historic churches, monasteries, and possibly sites connected to important saints or traditions, but I’m not sure where to start.

Are there specific Orthodox churches or monasteries that are considered must-see? I’m especially curious about places with history, beautiful architecture, or a strong local connection. Thank you!

What made you fall in love with Corfu?

Those of you who have been to Corfu, I am curious. What made you fall in love with it? My wife and I are thinking of going. We love the Greek culture and Greece and have never been. I've been experimenting cooking Greek food. We love to go out for Greek food!

Goal is to do a food tour of Greece, but Corfu really catches our eye as a great destination. I would love to hear what you think of it. We want to experience the culture! We have at least 3 nights to spend there before we move on to somewhere else in Greece.

Is the New Fortress Worth the Climb?

I’m planning a trip to Corfu and trying to decide which sights in Corfu Town are really worth making time for. The New Fortress keeps coming up, but I’m wondering how much of a climb it actually is and whether the views at the top make it worthwhile.

For anyone who has visited, how strenuous did you find it? I don’t mind walking, but if it’s a long uphill climb in the heat, I’d probably want to plan it for earlier in the day.

I’m especially interested in the views over Corfu Town, the harbor, and the surrounding area. Is there much to see inside the fortress itself, or is the main appeal the scenery and history?

Would you recommend visiting the New Fortress if I only have limited time in Corfu Town, or are there other sights you would prioritize first?
