Car Rental at Corfu Airport

Airport travel guide

Perhaps the most famous island to the west of the Greek mainland, the virtues of Corfu are no secret to an international traveler. From classical and medieval heritage to scenic nature and gorgeous beaches, there are plenty of reasons to visit. These are six of Corfu’s most interesting attractions:

• Liston. The neighborhood best known for its architecture is located at one end of Spianada, the iconic square of Corfu Town. Unique to Greece, many buildings in it were built at the beginning of the 19th century during the very brief period of the Napoleonic rule of the Ionian islands — they are said to be aimed to imitate the architecture of the famous Rivoli street of central Paris.
• Lefkimmi. There are many famous beaches in Corfu, such as Sidari and Agios Stefanos, usually known for the busy resorts that surround them, but if you’re looking for a bit more peace and quiet, head to the village of Lefkimmi in the southern part of the island. Known for its calm waters and relaxed atmosphere, its sandy beaches are just a 45-minute drive from Corfu Town.
• Monasteries. Although just a short drive away from either coast, the interior of Corfu remains unexplored by most foreign visitors. If you feel like getting off the beaten track, one of the best ways to do that is to explore the many Greek Orthodox monasteries that can be found in the inland area of the island. Often located in spectacularly hilly settings, they also offer important lessons about the history and culture of Corfu — one good example is the abandoned Saint Paraskevi monastery located on the edge of Vikos Gorge, just a 20-minute drive southwest of Corfu Town.
• Lakones. A charming hilltop village on the eastern coast of Corfu, its traditional stone houses date back to the 18th and 19th centuries. 
  An old donkey trail connects Paleokastritsa with Lakones and offers a well-marked path through the woodlands. The views over the Ionian from Lakones are some of the best on the island.
• Nymfes. Located in the heart of the island’s northern interior, the highland village is known for its lush greenery, springs, and waterfalls; it is this serene scenery that probably attracted the water nymphs who give the settlement its name. While no sightings of the legendary maidens can be guaranteed, the 50-minute drive from Corfu Town is nonetheless worth the effort. 
• Roda. Not to be confused with Rhodes, the famous Greek island in the Aegean Sea, Roda is a village on the northern coast of Corfu. In addition to fishing roots and present holiday infrastructure, it is known for providing views of the country of Albania and the town of Himarë. The drive from the town of Corfu takes no more than 40 minutes.
