The Property — Liakada
The Liakada hotel is a comfortable and unpretentious 3-star option in the charming town of Paleokastritsa, Corfu. Its rustic-chic aesthetic, with stone walls and terra cotta tiles, creates a relaxed, seaside vibe. The hotel's USP lies in its tranquil location, nestled on a hillside overlooking the picturesque bay, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat. As you step into the lobby, you're greeted by the sound of the sea and the warm scent of Greek coffee wafting from the on-site café.
Chronicles of Corfu
Corfu, the second-largest Ionian island, has a rich history dating back to the 8th century BC, when it was a Corinthian colony. The town of Paleokastritsa, where the Liakada hotel is located, was a significant site for the Byzantine Empire and the Venetian Republic. The island's strategic position at the entrance to the Adriatic Sea led to a complex cultural evolution, with influences from various empires and invaders. Today, Corfu's capital, also named Corfu, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reflecting its unique blend of Greek, Italian, and British architectural styles. The island's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its history, with a strong emphasis on traditional folk music, dance, and cuisine.

Top Attractions in Corfu
💡 If you're visiting on a Sunday morning, you'll see a cricket match—Corfu is the only place in Greece where the sport is played regularly. Buy a cheese pie from a nearby bakery and sit by the Maitland Rotunda.
💡 Go just before 5pm if you want to hear the local women crowd in for the evening litany. Dress modestly—shoulders and knees covered. The reliquary can be kissed after the service if you follow the queue.
💡 Skip the cable car tourist train and walk from the end of the bus line (green bus from San Rocco Square, 1.50 euros). For a swim, take the little boat from the pier below the monastery to Vido Island—free if you swim across from the mainland (200m).
💡 Bring water and wear sturdy shoes—there are many steep steps and no shade. Entry costs 6 euros (2024), but the permanent archaeological exhibition inside is included.
💡 Entry is 4 euros, but free on the first Sunday of each month (November to March). The museum is small—you can do it properly in 45 minutes. Combine it with a walk through the nearby Anemomylos neighborhood for a coffee stop.
