I was thinking of visiting Corfu over summer of 2024 and I am not sure how many days to stay. I was thinking that three days is a good amount, and that will enable me to visit other places in Greece (and other people - I have friends and family to visit).

Anyway 3 or 4 days really is ideal. But now, what to do? I have been watching a lot of content - there is some great travel content on YouTube and people love to visit Greece. Anyway, here is a great video:

 
Here are my thoughts for spending three days in Corfu. That video is great, by the way!

Day 1: Head to the Achilleion Palace after breakfast. It's a palace built by Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Here, you can admire the beautiful gardens and enjoy the scenic views of the sea. Next, visit the Corfu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore its narrow streets, ancient walls, and historic churches. End your day with a relaxing stroll along the Spianada, the largest square in Greece, and enjoy a refreshing drink in one of the many cafes and bars nearby.

Day 2: Start by taking a cable car to the top of Mount Pantokrator, the highest point in Corfu, and enjoy the breathtaking views from the summit. Next, head to the Palaiokastritsa Beach, where you can rent a boat and explore the beautiful coastline. End your day by watching a traditional Greek dance show and indulge in some delicious local cuisine.

Day 3: Start your day by relaxing at the Glyfada Beach, one of the best beaches in Corfu. Here, you can sunbathe, swim, and enjoy the beautiful turquoise waters. After that, head to the Sidari Village, where you can admire the famous Canal d'Amour and its stunning rock formations. Finish your day with a visit to the Corfu Beer Brewery, where you can learn about the brewing process, taste some delicious beer, and enjoy the beautiful sunset views from the brewery.

These are just some thoughts. There's so much you can do!
 
This great advice thank you - I will look into it!
 

Video Tour of Corfu

When I am about to visit a destination, I like to watch video content.

It has been a while since I have been to Corfu. I kept trying to go, but it keeps falling through.

Ignore the several-minutes long plug for a product! That part I know was necessary because they were a sponsor.

Once you get through that the content is good!

Unesco World Heritage Sites of Corfu

I'm currently planning a trip to the beautiful island of Corfu and I'm keen on visiting some of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites that are located there. Being a bit of a history buff, I believe that exploring these sites can give me a deeper understanding of the island's cultural heritage and historical significance.

Could anyone here share more information about the UNESCO site on Corfu? Is there only one? The Corfu Old Town? What should I prioritize to see in Old Town?

Thanks!

Achillon Palace Information

When I was asking for advice on how many days to spend on Corfu someone mentioned to see the Achilon Palace. So I thought I'd gather information about it.

Located in Corfu, Greece, Achillon Palace is a fascinating monument that attracts a large number of tourists every year. This beautiful palace is perched on a hilltop overlooking the stunning Ionian Sea. The palace was once the residence of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who was captivated by the natural beauty and elegance of the island and decided to build a palace there in the 1800s. Today, the palace is a popular tourist attraction that is renowned for its stunning architecture, beautiful gardens, and breathtaking views. In this blog, we'll explore everything you need to know about the Achillon Palace in Corfu.

Achillon Palace is a historical monument that was built in the late 19th century by Empress Elizabeth of Austria. This stunning palace was designed by a famous Italian architect, Raffaele Caritto. The architecture of the palace is inspired by ancient Greek mythology with stunning neoclassical features and mythological sculptures. The interior of the palace features elegant furniture, beautiful chandeliers, and stunning paintings on the ceilings and walls.

Top places to see on Corfu advice

I'm planning a trip to Corfu and would love to get some insights from this community. From the breathtaking beaches to the rich historical sites, I'm eager to explore what Corfu has to offer but would like to narrow down my list to ensure I see the top attractions.

Could anyone share their personal favorites or must-see spots in Corfu? I'm interested in both popular tourist destinations and any hidden gems you think shouldn't be missed. Additionally, if there are specific local dishes or restaurants that you believe are quintessential to the Corfu experience, I'd appreciate those recommendations as well.

Thank you in advance for your help!
