Corfu's Absolute Essentials

Explore the diverse heritage of Corfu through its Venetian fortifications, Byzantine castles, and UNESCO-listed Old Town. This collection features the Spianada, Greece's largest square, and the 16th-century St. Spyridon Church. Beyond the city center, the list highlights the island's natural geography, including the limestone cliffs of Cape Drastis, the double-sided beach of Porto Timoni, and the protected Korission Lagoon. Historical sites like the 14th-century abandoned village of Old Perithia and the clifftop Angelokastro provide insight into the island's strategic maritime history.
