Corfu has long made its mark as one of the most romantic Greek islands. You already knew that right? Then it comes as no surprise that Corfu is one of the top destinations amongst honeymooners! Below we have put together a few of the most romantic spots every couple should visit…and fall-in-love all over again!
Mouse Island is perhaps the most photographed spot in Corfu. The tiny island was named after its shape as it resembles a mouse. Why is it romantic? Well, the tiny mouse-shaped island is surrounded by stunning natural bays and green-covered scenery-all you need for a romantic getaway! As legend has it, Mouse Island is Ulysses’ ship which was turned into stone by the Greek god Poseidon. In the centre of the Mouse Island is nestled the Church of Pantokrator which is also well-worth a visit.
Corfu is surrounded by sun-kissed bays, coves and golden beaches. Some are crowded and vibrant whereas others remain untouched by tourism. One of the most romantic beaches found in Corfu is Avlaki Beach, a small and secluded bay, ideal for a romantic evening. The stunning views of the surrounding green-covered hills in combination with the sound of the waves set the scene for romance!
Achillion Palace is one of Corfu Island’s most visited and famed landmarks. The impressive structure is surrounded by blossoming colourful gardens making the balcony views one of the most romantic spots on the island!
The 15th century Old Fortress is the ideal spot to marvel at a romantic sunset! Found on the peak of a rocky peninsula, the Old Fortress is a favourite spot amongst couple’s wishing to watch the sun dip into the glistening blue sea. Corfu’s Old Fortress was built by the Venetians during the 15th century.
Gouvia Harbour (Marina Gouvia) is the most picturesque harbour for yachts across the Mediterranean. Lovers stroll along the harbour where they find plenty of charming cafes and taverns to sit and admire the view of passing boats out at sea. The views are especially amazing during nightfall when the harbour is all it up!
