There is lots to explore in Corfu, including the island’s pretty local villages.

This beautifully preserved ancient site is filled with Venetian, French, and British buildings, fortresses, and palaces among its narrow cobblestone laneways and hidden squares, plus quaint boutiques, tavernas, cafes, and souvenir stores.
Another highlight of Corfu is its top-class museums which allow an interesting insight into the island’s culture and history. The Archaeological Museum of Corfu is a must-visit, home to historic remains from the ancient city of Corfu, from marble statues to pottery and temple ruins.
