If you're looking for a beach day that'll make you feel like you're on vacation, look no further than the long, sandy, and organized beach of Chalikounas, in the southwest of the island. The sand is soft and fine, the sea gently laps against the shore, and in the distance, you can see the sand dunes. It's a truly magical setting, with just a few other visitors to share the experience. And the best part is that sun umbrellas are available at very low prices! On the unorganized part, you'll have the beach all to yourself!

The stunning city of Corfu offers an array of incredible activities to enjoy in a single day. From the charming stone streets of the old town, brimming with shops, to the captivating archaeological sites and museums, to the magnificent old Venetian fortress, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the entire town and the harbor – there is so much to explore! And there's even a monastery on the sea.

Arillas Beach is a beautiful sandy beach in the northwest of the island. It offers not only relaxation and a shallow sea suitable for children, but also beautiful limestone cliffs on the right side. The central part is fully organized, and the western part is a hidden paradise on earth, where you can have a healthy mud body wrap in addition to the sand.

Day trips to Paxos and Antipaxos can be purchased in each town from a local travel agency. The standard price is 40€ per adult on a boat for 50 people. The boats depart in the morning and return in the evening and you will have a full day at sea. You'll explore the incredible sea caves and relax on the most beautiful beaches.

Corfu is loved not only by today's tourists, but also by the Austrian Empress Sissi, who had the Achilleion Palace built here. The central theme was Greek mythology, especially the stories of Achilles. She spent a large part of her life here, and no wonder. The view from the palace gardens is still enchanting today.

Porto Timοni is a double beach on the west coast. You can get here either by boat or by a 40-minute hike that leads from the town of Afionas over one hill. It is the hike, however, that will offer you a spectacular view that is often on postcards because of its beauty. The beach is full of underwater life, but pebbly, with turquoise water.

If you're looking for a long, sandy beach in the southeast of the island, Issos Beach is the perfect spot! A gradual entrance to the sea, soft, golden sand, and beautiful sand dunes in the background that you can climb – not to mention a fantastic water bouncy castle for children – make this beach an absolute paradise for families with children! Even though there are loads of sun loungers and all the facilities you could need, the beach is still semi-empty in the summer, so you'll have plenty of space to relax.

If you want to see the most beautiful beaches that are on Corfu you need a boat. For 120€ you can rent a boat in the port of Alipa. You will be given a map of the coastline and your day at sea can begin. You will see small sandy but also pebble beaches, caves, and cliffs and it is up to you where you decide to anchor.

Angelokastro, i.e. Angel's Castle, dates from the 13th century, and even though it is more or less in ruins, its strategic location has remained. It is located high on a hill and offers a view of the entire surroundings, including the Paleokastritsa area. Directly below the castle is the Kastelli beach, accessible only by boat.
