Shoot down the slides at Aqualand
Nail-biting chutes and slides are the name of the game at this waterpark. Plummet down the Black Hole or pluck up the courage to plunge feet-first down the Kamikaze flume. If that’s all a bit too much, head for the lazy river instead. Little kids are well looked after, too, with mushroom showers and a bouncy castle.This palace takes Grand Designs to the next level. The brainchild of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, it was built as a homage to her hero, Achilles. The result is a fancy mix of colonnades, stucco work and statues inspired by the classical world. Sadly for the empress, she didn’t get to enjoy her new home for long. Just 6 years after it was finished, she was assassinated in Geneva.
Read MoreTaking the title of Corfu’s highest peak, Mount Pantokrator serves up views of the mindblowing variety. On clear days you can see right over to Italy to the west and as far east as Albania. Photo-worthy views aside, there’s a small monastery here, which has a lofty perch on the top of the mountain. The surrounding slopes are dream hiking territory, too.
Read MoreYou won’t find beach bars or souvenir shops on the sands of Korission Lagoon. This slice of salt water is protected from the open sea by a belt of white sand and it’s as unspoilt as they come. Some really special plants thrive here, including sea daffodils, which are star-shaped white flowers that grow just above the high tide mark.
Read MoreThe views from this cliff-backed beach at sundown are something else. It’s easy to get to as well – you’re looking at five minutes in a taxi from Sidari. If you’re trying to impress the other half, head to the cliff-top taverna above the beach for seafood and wine overlooking the ocean.
Read MoreCorfu’s biggest and best festival is a cultural extravaganza. It’s held in Corfu Town – make your way to the Liston and Town Hall Squares for the main events. Expect classical concerts, Greek plays, and a first-rate performance from the Corfu Philharmonic Orchestra.

Read MoreThere’s no missing this place – St Spyridon’s red-domed bell-tower is Corfu Town’s most iconic landmark. Inside the church, Orthodox icons crowd the walls and candles flicker in the gloom. Star billing goes to an ornate casket containing the mummified remains of St Spyridon. Locals reckon the saint’s slippers are threadbare due to his regular forays into Corfu Town in the dead of night.
Read MoreTowering above the sea on Corfu Town’s eastern side is this imposing 15th-century fort. Its Venetian walls stand on Corinthian foundations, giving the place an original birthday some time during the 6th century. Head inside and explore the battlements and drawbridge. And don’t miss the British-built church of St George, which harks back to Corfu’s stint under the Union Jack.
Read MoreAlong with walls laden with Byzantine icons, the Paleokastritsa Monastery has a sightseeing wildcard in its museum – a mammoth’s skeleton. And if that isn’t enough to draw you to this 13th-century shrine, its top views of the Ionian Sea will be. Just don’t leave without picking up some olive oil in the gift shop – it’s made by the resident monks and tastes amazing.
