Corfu

Corfu is the northern-most and capital of the Ionian Island chain - lying just a short hop from the coast of Albania. One of Corfu's many claims to fame is the birthplace of Prince Philip at the Palace of Mon Repos. It is where the famous zoologist Gerald Durrell lived with his family just before World War two - being the setting for his book - My Family and Other Animals, and the location for the popular TV series.

The Achilleon Palace is home to the statue of Achilles Heel and was where Kaiser Wilhelm declared World War I. Corfu Town is the largest "living" medieval town in Greece and an absolute pleasure to walk around, perhaps watch some cricket in the square or sample the excellent local cuisine. Try the local Kumquat liquor or simply watch the world go by with an ice-cold Frappe. Rolling Cypress Pine clad hills drop down to beautiful bays and beaches.

Perama is a scenic coastal area on the eastern side of Corfu, located about 7 km south of Corfu Town, making it one of the island’s most convenient bases for sightseeing and bus connections.  Famous for its iconic postcard view of Mouse Island (Pontikonisi) and the whitewashed Vlacherna Monastery, Perama sits directly opposite Kanoni and is linked to it by a pedestrian causeway. From here, visitors enjoy some of the best views in Corfu, along with easy access to taxi boats crossing to Mouse Island. The islet is one of Corfu’s most photographed landmarks, topped by a small historic chapel and steeped in local legend.

The Vlacherna Monastery, sitting at the end of a narrow walkway just offshore, is a serene 17th‑century monastery and a must‑see stop before venturing by boat to Mouse Island. Its proximity to the airport also makes Perama a popular spot for plane‑spotting and sunset photography.
