You could spend your days sunbathing by the pool at Villa Fotini, but if you decide to go out and explore, you will find that Corfu is a wonderful island with activities and tourist attractions galore!
Corfu Town is a must-see when you are in the island. With its narrow, winding lanes, and small shops, it is easy to get lost and wander around the centre of the town. Built on the site of a former acropolis atop a rocky peninsula, visitors can walk up to the top of the Old Fortress for captivating views, passing a small chapel and museum along the way.
You can visit the mighty Achillleio Palace, where Empress Sissi used to spend her time during the summer months, it is just over half an hour from the villa. Located in Gastouri, the palace was created in 1898 and was inspired by Greek mythology in design. The palace is encircled by beautiful gardens and has amazing views of the Ionian Sea.
Corfu famously has lots of glorious beaches to spend a day with your toes in the sand and a leisurely swim in the Ionian Sea. Besides Dassia and Agios Nikolaos nearby beaches, you can head to the other side of the island, and you will find the picturesque Paleokastritsa beach.
