It boasts fascinating historic sites, crystal clear waters in its coves and beaches, and excellent food, drink, and atmosphere in its tavernas and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re planning to visit Corfu, you might already know about the main tourist attractions, such as the Old Fortress and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/greece\/ionian-islands\/corfu\/achilleion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Achilleion Palace<\/a>, but what about the island\u2019s lesser-known sights? Here are 16 hidden gems that will take you off the beaten path and help you get to know Corfu far beyond the tourist areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. The British Cemetery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Address: <\/strong>Kolokotroni 8, Kerkira 491 00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opening hours:<\/strong> 8 am \u2013 1 pm Monday \/ 9 am \u2013 1 pm Tuesday to Friday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British Cemetary was primarily used to lay to rest British members of the military who were stationed on the island during the 19th century. British and American soldiers were also buried here during the World Wars when Corfu served as a naval base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The graveyard remains active today for Anglican civilians who are descendants of British settlers. There are more than 500 graves in total set amongst lush gardens that bloom into life during spring and summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.

Your guide will teach you about the history of olive oil and the nuances of its flavor, and you\u2019ll sample some award-winning oils alongside other local delicacies such as tomatoes, feta cheese, and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

It takes you well away from the busy tourist resorts and into some of Corfu\u2019s untouched landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some parts of the trail follow the coastline, while others venture inland into Corfu\u2019s rugged countryside. You\u2019re likely to see unspoiled small villages, isolated and abandoned churches, and plenty of native flora and fauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scenery on Corfu is so varied that you can easily witness a variety of terrains and views by spending just a day on the trail. There are lots of great places to pick up the Corfu Trail, so check the map to see where it runs closest to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

It\u2019s a picturesque village with narrow streets, beautiful Venetian-style properties, and quaint squares lined with tavernas and cafes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the buildings here are not as well maintained as in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/greece\/ionian-islands\/corfu\/corfu-town\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corfu Old Town<\/a>, their rustic nature gives the area a traditional charm. You\u2019ll see plenty of native Corfiots here and fewer tourists, so spend a few hours wandering around to get a feel for local life, and be sure to drop into a restaurant for authentic local cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Pontikonisi (Mouse Island)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pontikonisi-and-vlacheraina-orthodox-monastery-corfu-greece.jpg\" alt=\"Pontikonisi (Mouse Island)\" class=\"wp-image-17967\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pontikonisi-and-vlacheraina-orthodox-monastery-corfu-greece.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pontikonisi-and-vlacheraina-orthodox-monastery-corfu-greece-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/lornet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lornet<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re planning to visit Vlacherna Monastery, which lies on an island off the Kanoni Peninsula just south of Corfu Town, be sure to swing by Pontikonisi (Mouse Island) while you\u2019re in the area. Pontikonisi has its own tiny Byzantine monastery that dates back to the 12th century and is well worth a visit \u2014 you can reach this little islet by boat from the pier at Vlacherna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Maitland Rotunda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Address: <\/strong>Pl.

The neoclassical Maitland Rotunda was constructed in 1821 to honor British military officer Sir Thomas Maitland who was the first Lord High Commissioner of Corfu. Movie fans might recognize the impressive monument from the 1981 James Bond film <em>For Your Eyes Only<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.

This is no Athens \u2014 only minimal ruins remain but it\u2019s still an interesting site to check out for history buffs. The temple\u2019s carved stone pediment, thought to be the oldest in Greece, is on display at the <a href=\"https:\/\/archaeologicalmuseums.gr\/en\/museum\/5df34af3deca5e2d79e8c162\/archaeological-museum-of-kerkyra\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Archaeological Museum of Corfu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. The Diapontian Islands<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corfu is the most famous of the Greek Islands, but the Diapontian Islands that lie northwest of Corfu are beautiful because of their lack of renown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to the bustling tourist resorts of Corfu, the sandy beaches and traditional villages of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/greece\/ionian-islands\/othonoi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Othoni<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/greece\/ionian-islands\/erikousa-island\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Erikoussa<\/a>, and Mathraki offer a peaceful haven where you can truly relax and unwind. You can reach these islands by taking a ferry from Corfu Town, Sidari, or Agios Stefanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9.

The family that established Corfu Aquarium in 2011 did so to share their appreciation of the marine life and reptiles that fascinated them. Their goal is to educate visitors about the environmental risks that animals face in hopes of protecting wildlife populations long into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Local and exotic species are represented here, so you can learn a great deal about not only Corfu\u2019s wildlife but also about creatures from all over the world.

This small pebble beach lies near Paleokastritsa on the east coast, and it offers incredibly clear waters that are perfect for snorkeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wealth of wildlife lives in the coastal waters of the Ionian Sea, so you can expect plenty of marine fauna and flora. Be sure to check out the sea caves as long as the waters are relatively calm. Keep in mind that you won\u2019t find umbrellas, sun loungers, or tavernas at Rovinia, but its unspoiled nature is part of its charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>12.

His experience informed the writing of his popular autobiographical books which were adapted for television in the 2010s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its notoriety, Kalami remains a relatively unspoiled fishing village. It has a lovely pebbled beach and a handful of tavernas and restaurants, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/thewhitehouserestaurant.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">White House<\/a> which is set within the former home of the Durrell family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>13.

There are countless coves, capes, bays, sea caves, and islets in this area, including the renowned Canal D\u2019Amour which attracts many swimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a quieter alternative, head a few miles west of Sidaris to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/greece\/ionian-islands\/corfu\/cape-drastis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cape Drastis<\/a>. Looking down at the cape from the top of the cliff lets you admire the unusual striped formations of rocks and sand.

The sands are fine and golden, the waters are green-blue and clear, and rugged pine-tree-cloaked hills back the scene. Umbrellas and sun loungers are available, and you can try watersports such as windsurfing. If you want great facilities without massive crowds, Agios Georgios Pagi is a great compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>16.
