Crystal Clear Corfu Waters For Thrilling Fun Activities |
 |
 |
| Corfu, second largest Ionian Island holds rich, fascinating history. This popular port of call for most Mediterranean cruises has some of the best beaches teeming with marine life. Add to this charming culture and traditions of Byzantines, Venetians, French, Russians and British – and you are in for a blend of the best. Corfu is certainly one of the Mediterranean's most attractive destinations for cruise passengers. Attractions include Ayios Spyridon Church, Old Fort, Archaeological Museum, Museum of Asian Art, islands of Pontikonissi and Vlaherna, Achilleion Palace and ruins at Paleopolis. Corfu Town is great for touristy shopping in the Old Town for collectibles like jewelry, sculptures, needlework or ceramics. Olive oil and kumquat liqueur come highly recommended. Cruise ships berth at the New Port with free shuttles operating the passenger services terminal while others operate shuttle services to and fro Corfu Town. Visitors can breeze through to explore the attractions or simply relax and admire the breathtaking views over the island. The best place for visitors, especially sun worshippers will be the beautiful beaches to relax and enjoy. These would be Mon Repos and Agios Stefanos-Avliotes. Several excursions take you to visit interesting sites like Palokastritsa Monastery of the Virgin Mary, jeep safaris or views from Kanoni. Drive to south of the island for the traditional, untouched side of Corfu. A 25 minute boat ride from Kavos port brings you to Mourtos beach on the mainland. Sail further to Rodia bay for the azure lagoon waters to enjoy swimming in clear waters. Corfu is a taste of paradise and the Bay of Agia Paraskevi offers unforgettable ocean experiences. |
