In the east, choose from laidback Barbati, tiny Kouloura and Dassia, whose translucent waters and striking mountain views rank it among the island’s finest.
Next in your list of top things to do in Corfu, we explore the atmospheric Old Town, a Unesco World Heritage site. You will feel as if you have been transported to another era, with kings, countesses and noblemen and noblewomen once walking these cobblestone streets.
