Perithia Village is Corfu’s most picturesque village. The few remaining villagers are the most genuine people you’ll ever meet. The locals’ hospitality definitely touches every visitor. The village is made up of about one hundred stone-made homes that are surrounded by old churches. Old Perithia Village enchants all its visitors as it absorbs them into its fairytale-like setting.

Another landmark that captures everyone’s attention instantly is Corfu’s New Fortress which lies close by to Corfu Town’s Harbour. Apparently, it took the Venetians about a decade to complete its construction (1577-1588). The New Fort is much smaller than the island’s Old Fortress. It is comprised of two levels.  The first level was constructed in order to protect the harbour while the second was built to protect the city from enemy raids. Surrounding the fort is a moat, which was constructed in order to protect the fort. The magnificence of the New Fortress lies in its unique architecture. It is a true jewel overwhelms and inspires all its visitors and passersby.
