What interesting places to visit?
Based on the reviews, vacationers in Corfu will be interested in visiting the museum of sea shells (in addition to sea shells, stuffed animals, models and photographs of representatives of marine flora and fauna are on display; favorite souvenirs and shells can be bought in a souvenir shop) and the banknote museum (visitors are invited to see for 2000 copies of banknotes, checks, accounting books and other documents; those who wish can take part in the production of a modern banknote).
Travelers' attention should be paid to the observation deck "Throne of the Kaiser" (a stone staircase leads to the platform equipped with railings), which can be reached on foot or by rented car from the village of Pelekas. Previously, it was the favorite vacation spot of the emperor, and today it is of numerous tourists. From here, beautiful views of the sea, the island and its capital, the city of Kerkyra, open up (colorful photographs are provided to everyone who climbs this platform). Nearby there is a café serving delicious Greek cuisine.
Tourists are advised to go to Sidari Beach: in addition to sunbathing on rented sun loungers, eating in a Greek tavern, surfing or diving, it is famous for the “Channel of Love”, which is separated from the beach by a sandy promontory.
