Popular, pleasing, and practically perfect. At the northern side of the Ionian Sea is the ever-popular, picture-perfect island of Corfu. The island’s capital provides a base for exploring. In Corfu town, you can wander the cobbled streets and experience the island’s rich historical past, its architecture influenced by the Venetians, the French and the English. Visit the many museums and imposing mansions. Walk along the famous Liston promenade, and relax around the huge Spianada square.
When you venture out of town, the island will offer picturesque seaside villages, tiny verdant islets, luxurious resorts, and wild natural landscapes. Then it’s time to head to the coast to find some of the best beaches in Greece: lively and idyllic Kavos, Glyfada with its golden sands, or take a snorkel to Canal d’amour and explore the seabed.
Corfu is popular with good reason. The island has it all, just like our lists below.
