2Corfu

Located in the Ionian Sea, Corfu feels slightly different from the Cycladic islands thanks to its lush green landscapes and Venetian influence.

Corfu is ideal for first-time visitors who want scenic beaches combined with rich culture and history. The island’s Old Town features elegant architecture, narrow alleyways, and lively squares influenced by Venetian, French, and British rule.

Paleokastritsa is one of Corfu’s most famous coastal areas, known for its turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs. The island also has charming villages, olive groves, and excellent viewpoints.

Corfu is especially popular among families and travelers seeking a slightly greener and more relaxed Greek island experience.
