List of My Favorite Places to Visit in Corfu

[nadellii]

I have been seeing a lot of people asking about Corfu lately and I love that island! I thought I would share my top 5 favorite spots to visit in Corfu. Maybe this can help people plan!

1. Corfu Old Town – A UNESCO World Heritage site, this area is full of Venetian-style alleys, historic buildings, and lively squares. The Old and New Fortresses offer incredible views, and the Liston Promenade is perfect for a coffee stop.
2. Paleokastritsa – This coastal area has some of the most stunning beaches in Corfu, with clear blue waters and hidden caves. A boat tour is the best way to explore, and the monastery above the bay offers fantastic views.
3. Achilleion Palace – Built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria, this palace is dedicated to Achilles and features beautiful gardens and impressive sculptures.
4. Canal d’Amour (Sidari) – Known for its unique rock formations and crystal-clear waters, this is a great place to swim. There’s also a local legend that couples who swim through the canal will stay together forever.
5. Mount Pantokrator – The highest point in Corfu, with panoramic views of the island and even Albania on clear days. The drive up is scenic, and the monastery at the top adds a historical touch.

That’s an awesome list! Corfu has so much to offer, and you’ve covered some of the best spots. I’d love to add a couple of my personal favorites:

Angelokastro – This Byzantine-era castle sits on a steep cliff above Paleokastritsa, offering breathtaking views of the sea and surrounding countryside. It’s a bit of a climb, but totally worth it for history buffs and photographers.

Vlacherna Monastery & Mouse Island – One of the most iconic views of Corfu! The tiny monastery sits on a small islet connected by a causeway, and you can take a short boat ride to Mouse Island. The whole setting is picture-perfect, especially at sunset.

I agree that the Liston Promenade is a must for coffee lovers—such a charming place to soak in the atmosphere! Have you ever done a boat trip around the northeast coast? The hidden coves and seaside tavernas are incredible!
