Explore the Magnificent Attractions of the Island

Corfu is part of the Ionian islands and is located in northwestern Greece. Boasting its lush greenery and impressive history, Corfu offers a plethora of amazing sights and attractions for travelers to enjoy. Exploring the mainland holds the secret to many famous and lesser known treasures.

Among the finest landmarks of Corfu, Achilleion Palace is an opulent place of exquisite natural beauty. Dedicated to Greek hero Achilles, as its name suggests, it was home to the Empress of Austria Elisabeth of Bavaria, or else known as Sisi. You can take the guided tour and wander through the lavish gardens with the statues for a memorable experience.

Saint Spyridon Church is located in the heart of the Old Town and boasts the highest bell tower on the island (and the Ionian complex, too). It is a picturesque church, dedicated to the protector of Corfu, Saint Spyridon.

Corfu Old Town deserves of course special mention among the sights of the island. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town features many points of intrest. Besides the Church of Saint Spyridon, you will also have the opportunity to visit the Old Fortress and the iconic Esplanade (or Spianada square), the New Fortress, the Museum of Asian Art and the Archaeological Museum of Corfu.

You should not forget the two islets emerging from the water just a breath from Corfu Old Town. The first islet is home to the lovely whitewashed Vlacherna Monastery, while the second is the emblematic Pontikonisi (or else known as the Mouse Island).

Obviously, these are just few of the sights and attractions one may enjoy while visiting Corfu. Benefit from the privileged location at Acharavi on the northern part of the island and set out on your explorations, before returning to the idyllic scenery and warm hospitality of Acharavi Beach Hotel!
