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.
