The monastery sits on a hill above the bay of Paleokastritsa, offering stunning views of the sea and the surrounding countryside. It dates back to 1225, but much of the current structure is from the 18th century. There's also a religious museum with books and relics, plus a traditional olive oil press.

The most famous and most popular beach on the island. But also the most crowded, where in summer you have to stand or sit if you don't arrive by 9:00. You will wait 3 hours to rent a pedal. The beach is really not worth it and Corfu has much nicer places. If you go out of season, it shouldn't be a problem.

Logas beach is famous for its dramatic cliffs that drop steeply into the Ionian Sea, forming a narrow sandy coastline. Facing west, it is an ideal place to watch the sunset. But be careful what time you arrive here. You won't find the beach here at high tide.

The Canal d'Amour, also known as the "Canal of Love", is a natural formation of sandstone cliffs and rocky outcrops that has been shaped over millennia by the erosive forces of wind and water. Legend has it that couples who swim the channel together will be blessed with eternal love. You'll find it in the north, right next to Sidari beach.

The beach in the north of the island, next to which the Canal d'Amour is located, offers a long sandy beach, several bars and restaurants, umbrella rentals and water sports. A long promenade stretches along the beach. We found the beach to be kind of worse than average. It wasn't bad, but there are much nicer beaches in Corfu than Sidari.

Arillas Beach is a beautiful sandy beach in the northwest of the island. It offers not only relaxation and a shallow sea suitable for children, but also beautiful limestone cliffs on the right side. The central part is fully organized, and the western part is a hidden paradise on earth, where you can have a healthy mud body wrap in addition to the sand.

The stunning city of Corfu offers an array of incredible activities to enjoy in a single day. From the charming stone streets of the old town, brimming with shops, to the captivating archaeological sites and museums, to the magnificent old Venetian fortress, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire town and the harbor – there is so much to explore! And there's even a monastery on the sea.

If you're looking for a beach day that'll make you feel like you're on vacation, look no further than the long, sandy, and organized beach of Chalikounas, in the southwest of the island. The sand is soft and fine, the sea gently laps against the shore, and in the distance, you can see the sand dunes. It's a truly magical setting, with just a few other visitors to share the experience. And the best part is that sun umbrellas are available at very low prices! On the unorganized part, you'll have the beach all to yourself!

The small, unorganized bay of Apotripiti offers fine sand, calm sea, limestone cliffs and spectacular views. Swimmers can swim to the limestone formation that rises in the sea a short distance from the beach, which adds to the overall beauty of the place. The advantage is easy accessibility.
