2025 Corfu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

#ancientbuildings During my summer vacation, I had the chance to explore the Old Fortress of Corfu, and it was a fantastic experience! 🏰🌿 Located on the eastern side of Corfu Town, the fortress is easily accessible and offers stunning views of the Ionian Sea. The entrance fee was about €8, which felt like a bargain given the rich history and panoramic vistas. Walking through the fortress, I was struck by its impressive architecture and the sense of history that permeates every corner. The well-preserved walls and the various exhibits, including historical cannons and old maps, provided a deep dive into Corfu’s past. The climb to the top of the fortress was well worth it for the breathtaking views of the city and coastline. 🌅🗺️ After exploring the fortress, I wandered around Corfu Town, which is full of charming streets, vibrant markets, and cozy cafés. I enjoyed a relaxing lunch at a local taverna where I tried some delicious Greek dishes. 🍽️🍇 The Old Fortress of Corfu is a must-see for anyone visiting the island, offering both historical intrigue and beautiful scenery. #trip #OldFortressCorfu #CorfuIsland #HistoricalSites #TravelGreece #ScenicViews

The Spianada is a large square in the city of Corfu, Greece. It is the largest square in Greece and is located in front of the Old Fortress of the city of Corfu The square's name derives from the Venetian word for "open flat area", during the four centuries of Venetian rule in the island of Corfu. Its final construction dates back to the temporary French occupation of the Ionian islands and Corfu during the Napoleonic Wars. The "cricket court", a large park area, occupies a large section of the square. The love of the city inhabitants for cricket is of British origin, from the period of British domination (1814-1864). It is one of the most central and popular sites of the city and a tourist destination. #passionpassport #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #cafe #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #couplestrip #2023travelwish #passionpassport

#timetotravel My visit to the Old Fortress of Corfu in Greece was a captivating journey through history and panoramic views. Situated in the heart of Corfu Town, this ancient stronghold welcomed me with its imposing walls and rich heritage. As I explored the well-preserved ramparts, discovered the Venetian architecture, and stood atop the fortress for sweeping vistas of the Ionian Sea, a sense of timelessness and admiration filled me. The fortress's central location made it an integral part of Corfu's cultural landscape. It wasn't just a fortress; it was a testament to the island's strategic importance and its historical significance as a crossroads of civilizations, inviting me to step back in time and appreciate the blend of architectural marvels and the stunning surroundings, leaving me in awe of its enduring legacy and the stories it holds within its walls.

The most iconic symbol of Greece. These churches are a must-see when you're visiting this lovely island. It perfectly matches the blue-sky plus the wonderful caldera on the background. There's a lot of queue for taking pictures on this iconic trademark. This is truly as magical and beautiful as you see in pictures. The white with blue against the backdrop of the sun sparkling on the Aegean Sea is perfect. #週末遊 #境外遊 #西餐 #greece #greek #希臘

The old town is situated on the eastern side of the island and overlooks the beautiful glimmering waters of the Ionian Sea. Due to its history, the architecture in the old town is undoubtedly influenced by the Venetian rule giving it a very romantic feel ❤️. I love having a stroll especially in the evening! Don’t miss the visit to the old fortress! The fortress isn’t too big but bring your swim gear as you can also swim right by the old fortress right by Mandraki Gate. Such an amazing experience to be floating around in the sea and watch the sun set while the people on the yacht by the marina getting ready for dinner! Lastly if you’re into Greek sandals, I’d highly recommend the Corfu Sandals shop at Φιλελλήνων 3, Kerkira 491 00, Greece! Plenty of choices and size and they are all made on the island! What a lovely souvenir to bring home! #passionpassport #beachlife #bucketlistreboot

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Corfu (also known as Corcyra) has an area of ​​580 square kilometers and is the second largest island in the Ionian Islands. It is separated from Albania by the Strait of Corfu. When we arrived in Corfu, we were lucky enough to witness the annual St. John ceremony in the local church. The typical Greek traditional dance in the ceremony was quite eye-catching. Although the ceremony was explained in Greek, it was generally understandable. The island still preserves the traditional way of celebration. Dancers in the party hold ceramic pots Botides while dancing. After the dance, they will pierce the pots. Some scenes, such as passing them through fire or throwing leaves into the fire, are quite similar to the way of breaking pieces for peace and burning dragon boats to ward off evil spirits.
