Special Considerations for Corfu Airport Transfers
Corfu Town (Kerkyra): The capital (3km, 10 minutes) is one of Greece's most elegant cities and UNESCO World Heritage site. The old town features Venetian architecture (Corfu was never under Ottoman rule - unique in Greece), Liston arcade modeled on Paris' Rue de Rivoli, Spianada square (largest in Balkans), Old and New Fortress, St. Spyridon Church with saint's relics, narrow streets (kantounia), British cricket field, French and British colonial influences. Corfu Town is beautiful, sophisticated, and more European-feeling than typical Greek islands. Very popular with British and Italian tourists.
Paleokastritsa: This stunning bay area (25km northwest, 40 minutes) is Corfu's most beautiful coastal area with multiple coves, turquoise water, dramatic cliffs, pine-covered hills, monasteries on hilltops, boat tours to hidden caves, and excellent tavernas. The area features several beaches connected by coastal road. Paleokastritsa Monastery (1228) sits on hilltop with stunning views. The area is developed but maintains beauty. Very popular - arrive early.
Achilleion Palace: Built 1890 for Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Sissi), this neoclassical palace (10km south of town) features beautiful gardens, statues of Achilles, sea views, and period furnishings. The palace is elegant but small - allow 1 hour. Good for history enthusiasts and Sissi fans.
