In the beautifully preserved old town, a UNESCO world heritage site, palaces, fortresses, austere public buildings of the Venetian rule uniquely blend with lines of drying laundries in tiny alleyways and small secluded squares. Strolling through a complex of narrow cobbled streets with stairways and vaulted passages, the so-called “kantounia,” will make you feel as if you are in Genoa or Naples.

When visiting Corfu, one should not miss the chance to tour the neighboring islands of Paxi and Antipaxi. You will be amazed by the island’s fjord-shaped beaches, underwater caves, small bays, and green hills. According to the myth, the island would have been the southernmost tip of Corfu if Poseidon had not broken it off with his trident. On the other hand, Paxi, although a small island lying 3 nautical miles from Antipaxi, is endowed with outstanding beauty. Antipaxi is also famous for its renowned exotic beaches, among which Voutoumi, with its exotic turquoise waters, is of the most impressive in Greece.

The celebration of Easter on the island of Corfu is a truly unique experience, combining elements from Paganism, Agios Spyridon’s spirit (the Patron Saint of the island), the Roman Catholic community, the Venetians, the locals’ mentality and of course the Orthodox faith.
