This magical island located in the Ionian Sea should be on everyone’s go-to-list and here are 3 reasons why.
The Forts
The forts are a perfect symbiosis of the old and new, a bridge between the past and present of Corfu. The Old Fort (Palaio Frourio) was built in the 13th century and is protected by UNESCO. The Old Fort is an open-air museum and each sight is a journey through time.
The New Fort (Neo Frourio) is located on the northwest border of the capital. It’s a fortress with exhibit airplanes and a masterpiece of military architecture built by the Venetians in the 16th and 17th century.
Sidari
Sidari is a large tourist town with lots of beautiful bays, but the Canal D’amor is still the most popular attraction. It is a true masterpiece of Mother Nature, slowly carved by the sea and the wind for centuries. The clay boulders that make the Canal D’Amour are the reason for the unique shape of the channel.
Paleokastritsa
Words can’t describe this gem of nature. It’s a bay sheltered by two small peninsulas and it allows you to choose between six different beaches that offer you amazing views and an opportunity to enjoy every color of the sea.
