I’m a huge fan of scenic views and would love to hear your recommendations for the best spots to enjoy the natural beautify of Corfu.

Whether it’s a hidden viewpoint, a stunning beach with crystal-clear waters, or a charming village with panoramic views, I’m all ears! I'm also interested in hearing about any great spots for watching the sunset or places that offer a unique perspective of Corfu's coastline and lush greenery.

If you have any favorite lookout points, restaurants with a view, or even hiking trails that offer breathtaking scenery, I’d greatly appreciate your suggestions!
 
For stunning views in Corfu, you can't miss Angelokastro, a Byzantine castle perched on a cliff offering panoramic views of the island’s coastline and lush landscapes. For a charming village experience, head to Pelekas—it’s known for its incredible viewpoints, especially the Kaiser's Throne, where you can catch breathtaking sunsets over the Ionian Sea.

Porto Timoni is a hidden gem; it’s a twin beach accessible via a short hike, offering clear waters and an amazing natural setting. For crystal-clear waters, visit Paleokastritsa, which has several viewpoints and boat tours that showcase the dramatic cliffs and hidden coves.

For dining with a view, The Venetian Well in Corfu Town offers a unique atmosphere with a touch of history. If you enjoy hiking, the Corfu Trail provides diverse landscapes, from olive groves to coastal cliffs, with plenty of scenic spots along the way. Enjoy your scenic adventures!
