Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Corfu, Ionian Islands

November 15, 2021 Trinity Boughner

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.

Little Agios Stefanos Chuch

Reviewed By stevebG6121BX - London, United Kingdom

After 2 years my wife and myself are paying a return visit to the town of Agios Stefanos and whether you are on the beach or in the town it is difficult not to spot the cross on the top of the hill. Hopefully, like us, most able bodied visitors will take the trouble to go up the - admittedly steep - hill to discover the delightful ‘Little (and even by Greek standards it is little!) Agios Stefanos Church’ which is open to visitors. It also has some very interesting memorial stones outside the Church of some of the many regular visitors to this attractive town (some have been coming here for 20 years or more) who have sadly passed away. It is a poignant and special place - not one to be missed!!

Spianada Square is centrally located in Corfu old town, directly in front of the Museum of Asian Art in the Palace of St Michael and St George. Very picturesque.

Vlacherna Monastery

Reviewed By Cristina_Alexandra12 - London, United Kingdom

As an orthodox myself really wanted to visit this small church as it seemed is a popular place in Corfu and it didn’t disappoint me at all. Very easy to reach , you can take a bus from Corfu town ( line no 6 ) , we were lucky as it was only 10 min away from the resort we stayed and it’s also very close to the airport as you can see all the planes landing or departing . It’s situated on a small island and painted all in white , it has a small gift shod inside and also the church it’s open for tourists that want to pray or light a candle . Really enjoyed the time spent there !

Palies Sinies

Reviewed By TheSueBird

Hiked from Nisaki up to old Sinies- abandoned village in the mountains. Hike up took around an hour and forty five minutes, and down a bit less. You could drive up most of the way, but narrow roads and un-paved in parts. Village itself was peaceful and beautiful - and quite atmospheric. Lovely old abandoned houses a church, and other buildings. Thoroughly enjoyed!
