The 5 Best Castles in Corfu, Ionian Islands
Corfu is studded with whitewashed houses, Byzantine churches, and the remains of Venetian fortresses and Greek temples. Wander the ancient streets of the Roman village of Kassiopi or explore the central Esplanade of the eponymous Corfu Town. For a DIY spa experience, lather yourself in mineral mud on the shore of the Canal D’Amour. Legend has it that the waterfalls of Nymphes used to attract the mythological beauties of the same name, who would flock to the village to bathe in the pristine waters.

Dont't miss it! Best panoramic views over Corfu town, the port area and over the sea all the way to the albanian mountains. It has taken a while, more than 2 years, but now (july 2020) the greek ministry of Culture has taken over the running of the New fortress from Corfu municipality that had abandoned and almost left it to decay. The 500 years old, impressive and dominating structure is now open for visitors. Every day except tuesdays, from 8:00 in the morning to 16:00 in the afternoon. FREE enrty, so far... Enjoy! The entrance to the fortress is located at the upper end of picturesque Solomou street. Well worth the climb!

This is a hidden gem, not easy to find! It's a filming location for the durrells and is absolutely stunning. Take your swimming costume! The gardens are so naturally pretty and it's quite vast so take some water. Be aware there's a few roaming dogs so keep an eye out for little ones. The Palace was a small charge for adults but free for children. We all really enjoyed it, such a beautiful building in a tranquil setting. It had to be beautiful, its where Prince Philip was born. A must see!!

Came for a visit for a couple of hours so had a wander up here. Maybe sandals weren’t a good choice of climbing footwear, but I managed not to break any bones! Great views from the top!
