Top 5 Must-Sees in Corfu
Updated February 10, 2025

The largest island in the Northern Ionian, and home to Greece’s first university, Corfu is so much more than just the setting of hit ITV show The Durrels. The perfect launchpad for adventures to Paxos, Antipaxos and south towards Lefkada, Meganisi, Kefalonia and the Inland Sea, Corfu is also incredibly beautiful in and of itself.
On arrival, take some time to wander through the alleyways of the pretty old town, a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage site. There’s a number of narrow lanes, bursting with historic Venetian houses and bustling Greek cafes to explore. It's very easy to spend an afternoon simply sitting al fresco in one of these cafes, soaking in the Corfu culture and ambience.
Here are our 5 ‘must-see’ sights in the old town of Corfu:
