With the chance to create your own itinerary, this full-day trip to Corfu town from Parga is ideal for avid sightseers. Start the day with a panoramic drive from Parga to Igoumenitsa to catch the ferry to Corfu. Cruise over to spend the day exploring the pretty, atmospheric old town, doing exactly what you wish.
A pick and mix of architectural styles, Corfu town embodies its historic past. You'll stroll past grand Venetian castles one minute, then through Parisian-inspired arcades the next. And by arriving in the morning, you'll get plenty of time to discover its nooks and crannies. Check out the Palace of St Michael and St George, sip an espresso in Liston and enjoy the seaside ambience.
Or, if you fancy a laidback day, you could opt to take a taxi to Corfu's oldest bathing spot – Faliraki Beach – where a dip in the sea comes with bonus views of Mon Repos Palace. And once you've worked up an appetite, duck into one of many shorefront tavernas serving up freshly-cooked dishes of octopus and steamed mussels. After around five hours in Corfu following your own schedule, the ferry will bring you back to the mainland port of Igoumenitsa, where you can enjoy views of Corfu on the return bus ride.
