Corfu is such a treasure trove of great things to see! This time our major discovery was the Mon Repos Palace, now a museum holding all sorts of wonders from the island's past. Great architecture and so interesting!

Kassiopi

posted by canderson on 7 December 2010 at 13:34

Kassiopi is just 17km from Corfu Town and makes for a really nice day trip. It's a pretty, little seaside town with plenty of sweet little bars and restaurants- which are especially great for seafood. There's a 15th century Byzantine fortree here too which is quite spectacular and has great iews over the town.

Corfu Old Town

posted by fotis on 5 August 2010 at 15:40

No one visiting Corfu should miss out on taking an extended walking tour of the Old Town. The streets are wonderfully higgledy piggledy and you should expect to get lost. The town displays clearly its varied history and influences with Norman, Venetian, French and British architectural elements being clearly visible. The surface area covered by the Old Town isn't particularly expansive but its labyrinthine nature means that you can spend a good couple of hours in it.

Achililon

posted by dbiery on 5 August 2010 at 15:21

The Achilion is one of the more popular tourist sites in Corfu and if you make the mistake of arriving at midday, or in the early afternoon-like we did-you'll be battling with the hordes for a view of the displays. Despite this fact we really enjoyed the experience. The Achilion was the residence of an Austro Hungarian Empress and now is a museum of their art collection, beautiful reliefs and exquisite furniture. The well kept gardens are another great reason to visit.

where, when, how, web
Its 10km from Gastouri village and is serviced by a bus.
