Beautiful views of the Monastery and surrounding area from the restaurants. I would recommend to go. Seeing the planes landing up close was also great.

Beautiful place. Very calming. Very nice place for a short visit. There is also a plane view point. I really recommend waiting for the plane.

The Holy Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna is a stunning and peaceful landmark set on a small islet connected by a narrow causeway. Its whitewashed walls and picturesque surroundings make it one of Corfu’s most iconic sights. The atmosphere is serene, perfect for quiet reflection or photography. Visitors can enjoy beautiful sea views and watch planes approach the nearby airport. A must-see spot blending spirituality, history, and natural beauty.

Absolutely beautiful landmark, it’s connected by a narrow causeway, had some wider easy steps to go down to this islet. The atmosphere is so serene, one of the must visit landmark of Corfu- scenic, peaceful & beautiful

Very serene and not too busy in early high season. Lovely location and interesting surroundings. Close by is the airport so if you are into plane watching it’s not a bad spot. Plenty of restaurants around also.

It's a beautiful place next to the corfu airport . A small hike downwards from the bus stop is required from the view point of a restaurant. There is also a view point for the Airport landing strip. If you are lucky you can capture some planes landing and taking off. I was a bit far while capturing otherwise i would have had entire landing.

A fabulous and iconic monastery. Small in size but large in history and one of the most famous locations in Corfu. The beautiful location set out on an island jetty overlooking mouse island and alongside the airport approach of the jets landing feom all over the world. Inside the monastery is very small, a spot to light candles and make some prayers and enjoy the peacefulness from the excitement outside. Look out for the cats of Corfu.

The first scene and sound we experience on our first morning in Corfu old town. Having booked very near the church! Beaitul! We were able to attend the service and it’s so touching!

The Holy Church of Saint Spyridon is a very nice and authentic place to visit. The building is beautiful, with detailed decorations and a peaceful feeling inside. During our visit, we heard the bells ringing, and it gave us the sense of going back 400 years in time. The atmosphere is quiet and respectful, and it feels like a place where history is still alive. Walking inside is easy and pleasant, and you can take your time to look at the details. It is a simple but meaningful stop if you want to experience something real from Corfu.

Absolutely amazing experience. So much beauty packed into a relatively small building. So well worth the cover charge, they do accept card by the way, and spent about an hour. Many paintings to be seen.

After having viewed Saint Spyridon, I sat in the back of the church taking it all in. A little girl came to sit in my aisle, giggling and swinging her feet, nearly knocking over a lamp that looked more expensive than anything I could comfortably afford. Moments later her mom came over, checked on her, then reached out to me holding a basket asking for a donation for her and her child to which I obliged and they departed. Not long thereafter, as I prayed, my prayer was interrupted by a vision. It was of people floating at sea as though they were stranded with nowhere to go - as though they had nothing to do but wait. It’s like that scene in Titanic, except in my mind's eye the water wasn’t freezing. With that as the landscape, Saint Spyridon said to me, in the spirit, “I just helped.” I left the church knowing I’d been changed. Those three words have forever changed the way I look at the world around me. I now scan for opportunities to be helpful. I heard Saint Spyridon that day in a way that changed my mainframe processor - it was like receiving an upgrade to my system. It was a gift. As I left the church that day, I’d nearly forgotten about the three candles I held throughout this time, but as I exited the church I noticed the candle cart to my right and the mother and child to my left and it turned out to be perfect that I’d bought three candles because I was able to give one to each of them in the hopes that they too would find meaning and light in this age-old ritual of Illuminating candles. Later that evening, I researched Saint Spyridon and discovered reports of him posthumously saving people at sea. “Ah, that explains the vision of the people lost at sea,” I contemplated in awe and wonder. If that weren’t enough validation of my vision, as I departed Corfu Island for my flight in Athens on the ferry, I was inexplicably compelled to speak with an elderly Greek man who stood peacefully watching the land approach. After mentioning my love of Corfu and of Saint Spyridon, his cheeks rose into what seemed to be a smile threatening to break, like the sun before it rises in the dawn, and he said in a thick Greek accent heavy with reverence, “This, he is my Saint”. He pointed to his left, as one might point to their child before referring to him in a conversation, and continued, “Saint Spyridon is with me right here and now. He lives with me day and night - always. He is with me always. He is my Saint.” And with that, our ship pulled into the dock. We’d made it safely, but I have a feeling we’d be in good hands had anything gone awry while at sea. Rest in peace, Saint Spyridon. Thank you for your mark on this world - and for changing my heart. I pray to always engage with the world with the perspective of “I just helped.”

Greek Orthodox Church named after Saint Spyridon (Spiro as a modern iteration), “Keeper of the City” of Corfu, Greece. Priceless icons throughout. Reverent atmosphere. In center of Old Town.

Visiting Saint Spyridon’s Church in Corfu was one of the most moving moments of my trip. Even if you’re not deeply religious, you can feel something special there — a kind of spiritual calm that lingers long after you leave. Saint Spyridon truly feels present in Corfu.

The Holy Church of Saint Spyridon in Corfu Town, Greece, is one of the most significant religious sites on the island. It is dedicated to Saint Spyridon, the patron saint of Corfu, revered for his miracles and the protection he has provided to the island over centuries. History & Importance Built in the late 16th century, the church houses the relics of Saint Spyridon, which were brought to Corfu from Constantinople in 1456 after the Ottoman conquest. The church has played a key role in Corfu's religious life, with the saint credited with saving the island multiple times—especially from the Ottoman invasions and a plague in the 17th century. Saint Spyridon is celebrated with four annual processions through Corfu Town, marking his miraculous interventions. Architecture The church features a Venetian-style bell tower, the tallest in Corfu, making it an iconic landmark. Its interior is richly decorated, with a stunning gilded ceiling, impressive frescoes, and intricate silver lamps. The marble iconostasis is particularly striking, showcasing fine craftsmanship. The Relics of Saint Spyridon The saint’s remains are kept in a sarcophagus made of silver and gold, located in a special side chapel. Pilgrims visit to venerate the relics, believing in their healing powers. Every year, thousands of worshippers come to pray and pay their respects. Visiting the Church The church is located in the heart of Corfu Old Town, near Liston Square. Entrance is free, but modest dress is recommended as it is an active place of worship. The best time to visit is during one of the processions (Palm Sunday, Easter Saturday, August 11, or the first Sunday of November) when the saint’s relics are carried through the town.

Went early and virtually had the place to myself. Saw the attractions and climbed to the lighthouse. The information points are very good and gave a good historical portrait of the fort and it's changes throughout history. I had no idea how important Corfu is and has been throughout history in this area for it's strategic significance or that the British had a protectorate here. A must do for sure.

good place to visit for €10. bit of a hike to the top and lots of uneven floors and walkways so wear proper walking shoes or trainers. the usual tourists and cruise ship customers. good views from the top and a quirky hidden ground level tunnel to the yacht club takes you to the sea if you want a dip in the waters.

For 10 EUR and some waiting in line (10 min) i have got the most smazing Fortress I have ever seen in my life. The complex is huge, it is like a city in the city. Breathtaking view, history by every step. I can recommend only! A women in front of me could get get in with a mini yorkie, dogs are not allowed.

The entry is 10 euro per person. You can see the Charles church up close then climb to the light house and enjoy beautiful views of old town and the port. Go in the morning because it gets super hot quickly.

The Old Fortress of Corfu Town is one of those places that captures everything special about the island — history, beauty, and atmosphere all in one. Standing proudly at the eastern edge of Corfu Town, it’s impossible to miss the sight of this massive Venetian stronghold rising above the harbor. I visited on a warm afternoon, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. The entrance fee is €10, and it’s worth every cent. Once you step through the gates and cross the bridge over the old moat, it feels like you’ve entered another world. The combination of sea breeze, ancient stone walls, and the faint echo of history creates an incredible sense of place. The fortress was originally built by the Byzantines and later expanded by the Venetians, and you can see traces of both influences in the architecture — arched gateways, tunnels, old bastions, and lookout points that have stood for centuries. Exploring the site is both relaxing and fascinating. You can take your time wandering up and around the walls, through narrow paths and open courtyards, each turn offering a new angle or hidden detail. The climb to the top of the fortress is gentle but steady, and when you reach the summit, the reward is breathtaking: a 360-degree panoramic view of Corfu Town, the blue Ionian Sea, and even the Albanian coastline in the distance. It’s one of the best viewpoints on the island — perfect for photos or simply standing still and soaking it all in. Inside the complex, you’ll also find a few restored buildings and exhibitions that give insight into Corfu’s past, including its military history and Venetian heritage. There’s a small café near the top, where you can sit down with a cold drink and enjoy the view in peace. The atmosphere up there is wonderfully calm — despite being in the heart of the capital, it feels like a step back in time. If you visit in the morning, it’s quieter and less hot, but sunset is magical too, with the warm light hitting the stone walls and the town below glowing in golden tones. Overall, the Old Fortress is a must-see for anyone visiting Corfu. Whether you love history, architecture, photography, or just a good view, it delivers on all fronts. Ten euros for a walk through centuries of history and some of the best vistas in Greece is a bargain — and an experience you’ll remember long after you leave.

Tickets cost €10. Admission is free for those under 25 :) I would definitely recommend. In early September there were no queues there. The fortress is very large. But with a quick walk you can get around it in 45 minutes including climbing the hill. Nice view of the harbor and Corfu Town.

This is oldest out of two fortresses that Corfu has. It will give you a nice bird eye view on old city and harbor. The hike up is relatively easy, but be careful the stones that make a trail up is quite slippery and I assume could be quite challenging if wet. So make sure that you have a comfortable footwear that are nonslippery. The fortres has a Cafe and restrooms where you can take a rest. The cost is €10

We’ve been coming to The Venetian Well every year — it’s always been one of our favorite spots in Corfu for the atmosphere, the beautiful square, and what used to be an elegant, gourmet dining experience. Sadly, this time was very different. We made our reservation a week in advance and were asked to prepay €80, which we found unusual, but we trusted the experience would be worth it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t. The staff were very kind, but the service was extremely slow. There was a fixed Easter menu, and no one asked about our dietary preferences. Out of five courses, two included mageiritsa (Greek Easter soup made from lamb intestines) — something neither of us can eat or enjoy. In the end, it was our dog who helped finish the plate. We paid €85 per person for a set menu where we genuinely disliked almost half the dishes. To top it off, the card machine wasn’t working, and we had to pay in cash, which caused further delay. It breaks my heart to say this, but something has changed here. What used to be a refined, special dining spot now feels like a forced set-menu place with none of the finesse we loved. After many visits over the years, this was, unfortunately, our last.

The location is absolutely beautiful and romantic – a perfect setting for a special evening. The reservation system can feel a bit demanding, with strict time slots and a required deposit, but given the size of the restaurant and the peak tourist season, it is understandable. The restaurant itself is charming and very pleasant. We opted for the tasting menu, which was excellent – the food was creative, well-prepared, and definitely worth trying. There is a lot of staff, but somehow the energy and atmosphere they aim for with a fine dining concept doesn’t fully come through. It feels like something small is missing to really elevate the experience to the next level. Overall, the food is great and the setting is wonderful. Despite the small drawbacks, Venetian Well is definitely worth visiting if you are in Corfu.

We had an amazing experience celebrating our three-year anniversary at the restaurant and enjoyed every moment. We chose the tasting menu, which included eight courses each—two starters, three first courses, a main course, a pre-dessert, and a dessert. The dishes were incredibly unique in their flavors and ingredient combinations, though not necessarily the most delicious I’ve ever had. A special highlight was the crab dish, to which we added caviar—it was outstanding! Very unique, with unusual flavor pairings that created an explosion of taste. The dessert was also exceptional, both in presentation and in its flavors and textures. I highly recommend this restaurant! It’s a special experience, well worth enjoying on a meaningful occasion.

Tucked away from all the chaos of old Corfu town, this beautiful restaurant is a breath of fresh air! The scenery is picturesque and the food is next level! Local ingredients take on a modern twist while the service is old school fine dining at its finest. The tasting menu was amazing! The watermelon crab dish was one of my favorite dishes in Greece!

Excellent experience totally worth the money. We had full tasting menu with the wine pairing. It was not just a food or dinner, but a journey through Greek wines, regions and flavors. We were super impressed by how thoughtfully each wine was selected for the food and how gracefully it actually complimented the dish. Restaurant team was well coordinated and worked like a clock. If I could give them some award, I would right now for both creative cuisine and especially wine pairing in particular. So so so worth it. Would love to come back later.

We took the tasting menu and it was very delicious!! As always, the food comes really fast but we appreciate it a lot that they proposed a pause if we wanted to.

We were lucky enough to get a table on a lark without reservations and it's like the gods were looking out for us! I won't lie, I'm kind of a food snob, and while I think in general food in Greece is mmm mmm good, this place really blew my expectations away. Located in a tucked away, picturesque courtyard next to the eponymous Venetian Well, this is a gem of a restaurant that easily earns all the rave reviews. The flavors are so delicate yet complex and beautifully executed. The service is so attentive. The presentation alone is art worthy. One of the things we tried was the olive oil risotto, which sounded so simple but the flavors and textures combined into a symphony for the senses. Three of us ate there and the only reason we didn't actually lick our plates was because we were too full to move. A meal like this would cost us at least $250/person back home. We paid about $90 per person, including drinks. A night well spent, to be sure!

Honestly I expected more out of Salto, mostly due to the bad service we received. We had a reservation for 2 at 9:30, the place was packed and lively. It took them 25 minutes to get our drink orders after being seated. And another 20 minutes to get our food orders. Food was okay, nothing special. Best thing we had were probably the mini lamb kabobs and the shoestring fries.

Incredible staff who really make the experience enjoyable. The food is absolutely delicious and unique with a variety of options. Very nice selection of Greek wines which were great as well. Highly recommend going while in Corfu!

We had a great diner in Salto, the service was really nice and the food was delicious, from the starter to the dessert. Wine really complimented it all, thank you very much !

Just got back from a wonderful birthday meal. We began with a gin martini made with black vermouth which was fantastic. To start we had sea bass ceviche and steak tartare - wow - brilliant prep. We then had a tagliatelle pomodoro and a seafood orzo. Both were testaments to the chefs skills beautifully seasoned with great flavour. The staff recommended the wines which were amazing. Every time we come to Greece we find different varieties of grape. Thoroughly recommended and I wonder how many times we will return.

Great food and wine and a wonderful atmosphere. The staff is very kind. The service was excellent.

Came to Greece hoping every meal was going to be this good. Came here on our last night after being dissatisfied with many other meals and they blew it out of the water. Exceptional!!! One of the best meals I have ever had.

Simply perfect. Everything from wine selection and advice, to attentive and professional service, to flavorful, creative and delicious dishes. From appetizers to desserts everything we tried was perfect. I want to go back already and try more of their menu

The restaurant is absolutely worth it. Indeed, more expensive than a taverna, but the food is very tasty, probably the best meal we had in Corfu. Service is great, atmosphere is perfect with candles.

We spotted this restaurant when walking around the island & spotted separate vegetarian section, ambience of place was inviting as well. We had ordered all 3 items on vegetarian menu - black eyed beans with spinach, herbs and dressing with orange & lemon flavoured olive oil; vegetarian moussaka ( potato rolls with minced mushrooms and Bèchamel sauce mousse; grilled asparagus with graviera gnocchi and butter sauce with mushroom duxelles along with Salty dount balls with greek cheese and basil sauce. I really liked gnocchi and salty donut balls. They were very flavourful & excellent. Moussaka base of aubergine was way too hard & that got least marks from me. I would recommend this place.

The food was absolutely excellent, rich, flavorful, and clearly made with fresh local ingredients. You’ll find traditional Corfiot dishes here that really stand out, elevated with finesse and authenticity. So far, it’s been one of the best meals we’ve had on the island. We ended up ordering way too much food for just the two of us—expecting small portions, but the dishes were generous and satisfying. Keep that in mind when you order! The outdoor terrace is absolutely where you want to sit—beautiful atmosphere, buzzing with energy, and perfect for people-watching in the heart of the Old Town. Avoid the indoor seating if you’re after charm and ambiance. Service overall was good, with attentive waitstaff who were friendly and efficient. However, a notable downside was the management staff—they seemed rushed, didn’t make eye contact, and we waited over 15 minutes just trying to get their attention to order a second bottle of sparkling water. It felt like they were more focused on turning over tables than enhancing the guest experience. That said, the rest of the team was excellent, and once we got their attention, everything flowed smoothly.

We stopped for brunch. While the food was delicious, hands down one of the best brunches around, the coffee was terrible. If you’re used to good European coffee, do yourself a favour and drink wine. Or beer. :)

Amazing hospitality and superb food! A fine dining spot right in the heart of Corfu Town. Every aspect of the experience was excellent, from the warm welcome to the attentive service and delicious dishes. The owner was very kind, and the thoughtful gesture for our anniversary made the evening even more special. Highly recommended

Simply 5 stars all round. Lovely food. Attentive staff. Reasonable prices. Great location Went twice in 3 visits to the town. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We stumbled across this restaurant, and were met by some lovely staff. The menu was fantastic and was backed up with outstandingly prepared food. If you're in the area this place is a must visit.

Unique experience! Very attentive personnel, great service, food all hands down very tasty, without any unneeded sophistications. Deserts and greek salad are top notch! Nice variety of local wines!

Absolutely an unforgettable experience! 🌟 The food was divine – every bite full of flavor and love. The wine we had, Simphonia Ampeloeis, was simply heavenly and a must-try. The fresh red tomatoes tasted like sunshine, and the octopus with fava went straight to the heart. The olive oil felt like pure elixir, and the desserts were the perfect finale. What truly makes this place stand out is the warm and special attention from Elias, who makes you feel at home and gives you a reason to keep coming back. The atmosphere is magical – a hidden, romantic garden with a view of the sea, creating a feeling you will carry with you long after. A place not just to eat, but to truly experience. Highly recommended!

the overall experience was nice, food was good, and service as well, but can't say it was something special, or extra (especially in accordance with the prices), that you wouldn't be able to find at some tavernas; appreciate the fact that it's more of a fancy restaurant than a taverna, but some things on the menu still seemed quite pricey (compared to other places in the area) - maybe i had higher expectations 🤷🏻‍♀️ Interesting plus in the wiline menu - they've got alcohol free wine (by the bottle, or by the glass)

Absolutely unreal dinner in Corfu. Elias is legendary and made dinner so much more like visiting a friend in their house garden. Best tomatoes you will ever taste and unreal premium extra virgin olive oil. Great recommendations and suggestions for a really nice fish as mains too. Will be back asap!

The BEST meal I’ve had in Corfu, the octopus was cooked perfectly, not under nor overcooked; it melted like butter. The sauces were sensational and the service was the cherry on top. The staff was so kind and made the experience an unforgettable one. Whenever I talk about my trip to Corfu, I always mention the meal I had here.

Avli is a gem! The grilled octopus was a highlight - tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. It's a testament to the restaurant's philosophy of simple food, done well without any gimmicks. The dishes were uncomplicated, yet bursting with flavor. The drinks service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who knew their stuff. I was so impressed with the food that I ended up going back for a second meal before I left! The consistency and quality of the dishes were spot on, and I appreciated the lack of fuss. Avli's focus on traditional cuisine done with care and attention to detail shines through in every bite. If you're looking for authentic, delicious food without any unnecessary frills, Avli is the place to go. I'll definitely be back for more of their mouth-watering dishes! Five stars for a truly memorable dining experience.

A magnificent evening in a beautiful atmosphere. All the waiters were attentive, extremely charming, yet never intrusive. For starters, we had three different dishes: ceviche, halloumi, and tomatoes. Altogether, an explosion of flavor! The grilled octopus was one of the best we’ve ever had. And the catch of the day with its sauce—an absolute dream! We finished with the homemade chocolate cake—the perfect crowning touch to a fabulous evening! This restaurant is a heartfelt recommendation!

I was there 2 days ago and we tried: caprese salad It was absolutely delicious shrimps in lime sauce i have tried it a little bit but mom ate that a lot and she loved them also we ate tyna steak and i recommend that because it was very good Next i have to say. : thanks to out waiter Joshephie ( sorry if i wrote your name uncorrectly) she was super kind and very very helpful ..

Lovely restaurant in one of the cutest streets of Corfu Old Town. The tuna tartare was fresh and melting in the mouth, and both the risotto with carrot cream and the mushroom pasta were excellent. On top of that, the owners are so kind and welcoming – highly recommended! 🌿

We absolutely love this place. The lady serving was super friendly and efficient - her service was outstanding, especially in that she asked us the speed at which she wanted the dishes brought out. The tuna tartare was especially good. The seafood spaghetti had way more flavour than this dish typically has. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be going back. We saw people turned away so I recommend booking.

This was one of the best meals we had in Corfu. Excellent and friendly service. Nice, elegant atmosphere. And the food and wine, well, you gotta try it for yourself. My shrimp risotto was so tasty. And it was the perfect amount. Husband’s tuna was great. And our sea bass ceviche was soooo good!

Good food, very friendly server. Kitchen was visible from the door and is absolutely spotless so hygiene is no issue. Decor was a little lacking, but the place was very tidy in general. The prices were fairly high compared to a local tavern, but not unjustified. Swordfish was great.

Very meticulous dishes, a wide selection of dishes, based on seafood with excellent flavors. Excellent service

Great food and friendly hosts. More expensive than other restaurants we went, but good quality. We enjoyed our shrimps, ceviche and the main courses in a small setting. The desserts were also delicious. So when you're in for a food experience, this is the place!
