Sunset Photos Corfu?

[xmelissaa]

As you know from my last post, I’m considering a trip to Corfu and I’d love some advice from fellow photography enthusiasts, especially on where to get the best sunset shots!

I’m super into landscape and seascape photography, and I’d like to capture golden-hour views with minimal crowds. Which spots on Corfu give you the most dramatic skies, beautiful silhouettes, or interesting foregrounds? I’ve read about the Old Fortress in Corfu Town, but are there others, clifftops, beaches, hilltops, or lighthouses—that really stand out? I’m also curious about seasonal light differences in autumn: does the angle or color of the sunset change things up compared to summer?

Any tips on timing, access (like whether you need to hike or drive), and the vibe at these locations would be hugely helpful. I’d like to build a shortlist of photo-worthy spots before booking. Thanks in advance—can’t wait to hopefully chase sunsets in Corfu this October!

Corfu is great for sunset photography, especially in October when the skies get that soft golden-pink glow and the island is quieter. Aside from the Old Fortress (great for cityscape silhouettes), here are some top spots:

1. Loggas Beach (Peroulades): Clifftop views, dramatic drop into the sea, and a west-facing angle perfect for fiery sunsets. There’s a famous bar there, but you can walk a bit away to avoid crowds.

2. Cape Drastis: Just north of Loggas. Rugged limestone formations and turquoise water make for striking contrasts—sunsets here are phenomenal.

3. Kaiser's Throne (Pelekas): Panoramic hilltop view inland and toward the coast. Very accessible by car, and stunning in autumn light.
