Corfu, the greenest of the Ionian islands, wears its layered history on its sleeve — Venetian fortresses, French arcades, and British-era cricket grounds all ring an elegant UNESCO old town. Beyond Corfu Town lie cypress-and-olive hillsides, the clifftop monastery views of Paleokastritsa, and the imperial Achilleion palace. It feels more Italian than Greek in places, and all the prettier for it.
Corfu Town's Venetian old quarter is walkable and worth lingering in, but the island's scenery (Paleokastritsa, the Achilleion) is the real treat — a short half-day tour pairs a coastal viewpoint with the old town nicely.
