What to see and visit
Corfu offers far more than just a beach holiday. Years of culture have honed the island during the ages.
Corfu Town : Kerkyra
Corfu town is Venice and Naples, a touch of France and more than a dash of England, apart of course from being Greek.

Achillion Palace
The Palace is definitely a place to take your camera. This beautiful building in picturesque gardens overlooking the sea and Corfu town is one of Corfu's top attractions.

Paleokastritsa
It is famous for being the islands most treasured beauty spot, and becomes busy with day trippers throughout the season. Luxury yachts sail in to admire the back drop of the beautiful green hills, while coaches clog up the narrow roads leading into town.

Old Perithia
Perithia is a deserted village. It is located high up, off the main road between Kassiopi and Acharavi. It is strange driving in the mountains, coming across this deserted village with a few sheep and a couple of Tavernas in the middle.

Mount Pantokrator
Mt Pantokrator dominates the Northern part of the Island and is over 1000 meters high. During the winter months, it is occasionally 'snow capped'. There are several villages to stop and see on the way such as Strinilas, which are well worth a visit.
