You don't need any travel guide to explain you how to make your Corfu holidays fun-filled and memorable. Once you reach the place you would naturally realize how to make best use of the vacation. You will understand in no time how beautiful the island is. What you can do there and how to make it totally stunning. Corfu is one of the islands that make up the country, Greece. The popularity of Corfu is increasing every day. Here is a list of activities that you can do there to add to your enjoyment.

First of all, you have to plan for a trip to the beaches. Glyfada is said to be a nice beach and so is Ermones, Paleokastritsa and Issos. Above the beaches, there are delicious taverns and restaurants to taste local dishes.

Greece is a country that has a great cultural heritage. And the country had one of the oldest civilizations as well. All the islands are home to many historical monuments. Once such thing located in Corfu is the Old Fortress. There was a time when the residents of Corfu used to stay inside the walls of Palio Frourio known as the Old Fortress. Old Fortress offers a great view of Corfu Town. It is located ...
... on the eastern side of Corfu Town. You might choose to stay near such spots to make Corfu holidays more fun-filled.

The Museum of Asian Art has a great collection of Japanese print and Chinese porcelain. Built in the 19the century to host the summer royal residence, the museum is located inside the palace of St. Michael and St. George in the Old Town, north of the Cricket Ground. Such museums are always good to know about the island.

Next is the Church of Agios Spyridon. Saint Spyridon is said to have saved the island several times. The Church of Agois Spyridon is named after him. The shrine of Saint Spyridon is kept in the church in a coffin made of silver. The architecture of the church is beautiful, with red dome and tall bell tower.

We also suggest you to rent a car and explore the inland of Corfu, just to give a more traditional view to your Corfu holidays. This way, you will see small traditional villages in the mountainous, green nature, old people with a big smile in the face and abandoned houses in the middle of nowhere.
