Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Corfu?

Corfu Old Town, Liston and Spianada : Wander tight lanes lined with pastel facades and wrought-iron balconies, then stroll the Liston arcade along the wide Spianada. Sit under the arches and watch local life in the main square. Old Fortress (Palaio Frourio) : Climb the ramparts to scan the strait toward Albania and circle the lighthouse point. Step into the church of St. George and trace the fort’s layered walls. Achilleion Palace : Walk through rooms filled with neoclassical statues and murals tied to Achilles. Explore the terrace for sea views framed by marble figures and gardens. Paleokastritsa Monastery and Bays : Visit the hilltop monastery with its small museum and fragrant courtyard. Head down to the coves to swim or hire a small boat into sea caves when conditions are calm. Kanoni Viewpoint, Vlacherna and Mouse Island : Stand on the causeway to watch planes glide over the water and frame the white Vlacherna Monastery in your photos. Take a quick boat to Pontikonisi for the classic island view.

Question 2

Is Corfu walkable?

Accepted Answer

Corfu Town is very walkable, with the Liston, Spianada, the Old Fortress, and harbour all close together. For farther sights, take Blue Bus 2a to Kanoni and Mon Repos, Blue Bus 15 between the airport and port, and Green Buses for Paleokastritsa and Kassiopi.

For an easy way to explore beaches and villages beyond town, a private tour in Corfu with private transportation is a good option.
