Question 3

Places to Visit in Corfu, Greece

Accepted Answer

The Old and New Fortresses: Fascinating not only for their historical relevance, but also for the stunning panoramic views over the town, the sea, the Greek mainland, and much of Corfu island, the Old and New Fortresses are one of the most popular attractions on the island. Built by the Venetians in the 14th century and expanded by the British during their occupation, the two fortresses are strategically situated on a peninsula with twin craggy peaks at the mouth of the Adriatic Sea. Once a citadel of battle, the fortresses now stand as a locale offering the best views of the island spread below.
The Liston: Bordering the Spianada, the Liston is an elegant piazza promenade whose arcade is lined with cafés, restaurants, and boutiques. Although it dates back to Venetian times, it was the French, during their brief sojourn on the island, who gave it its Parisian feel. At the Liston, you can leap to Paris without ever having to jump on another flight, and sip a café-au-lait or two as you people watch to your heart’s content.

Popular Destinations Near Corfu, Greece

Accepted Answer

Ithaki: The island of Ithaki is the subject of epic tales, and is every bit as rugged and romantic as its role in Homer’s stories would suggest. The mythical homeland that famed hero Odysseus would fight ten years to return to, Ithaki is a place where visitors can easily understand why Odysseus would go through a baptism of fire to return to this idyllic island. Seducing travellers from far and wide with its aged ruins, awe-inspiringly beautiful waterfront villages, and thick wilderness, Ithaki is the kind of island where worries slip away and one can lose themselves in the beauty of their surroundings.
Cephalonia: White beaches, teal-hued waters, and vibrantly colored houses line the coast to make up Cephalonia. The city’s wondrous mix of Italian landscape interminges with its own unique Greek flavor. Arguably the most captivating of all the Ionian islands, Cephalonia is a place to lose yourself amongst the beauty, where the cavernous coastline conceal mysterious hidden coves, Venetian architecture decorate the waterfront villages, and the bounty of nature is presented in all its magnificent glory. Wander through the wild Mediterranean meadows and mountainous backdrops to discover a world more magical than one could imagine.
