What to do and see in Corfu, Ionian Islands: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

December 14, 2021 Darleen Reid

Corfu is studded with whitewashed houses, Byzantine churches, and the remains of Venetian fortresses and Greek temples. Wander the ancient streets of the Roman village of Kassiopi or explore the central Esplanade of the eponymous Corfu Town. For a DIY spa experience, lather yourself in mineral mud on the shore of the Canal D’Amour. Legend has it that the waterfalls of Nymphes used to attract the mythological beauties of the same name, who would flock to the village to bathe in the pristine waters.

Reviewed By SOUIXE112 - Southend-on-Sea, United Kingdom

My mum and I booked the canter ride for 15th July. My mum hasn't ridden for a while so I asked if it would be possible to walk and trot and only canter if my mum felt comfortable enough once on the ride. Sally was really helpful when booking over email and assured as it would be fine and it would only be my mum and me on the ride so we could do whatever she felt comfortable with. Sally picked us up from our hotel in Gouvia at no extra cost and dropped us back. The ride was about 2 hours through the countryside and a small village where we stopped for photos and fly spray for the horses. I was riding Katie and my mum Ria, both were perfect and suited our abilities. My mum felt really comfortable after a while of walking and trotting so we did have some great canters on the way back. An absolutely great experience, the horses, staff and countryside were all beautiful and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to go horse riding on holiday. All riding equipment including boots and chaps were provided and the horses are really well cared for. Thank you Sally and the team for a fantastic experience. We will be back next time we are in Corfu. Please give Katie and Ria an extra carrot from us :) Suzie and Dawn

Casa Parlante

"Welcome! Please, come in! The Count will be with you presently. He hopes you will join him and the Countess in the drawing room for tea." This is what you would hear at Casa Parlante, the most alive historical museum in Corfu. A 19th century noble mansion comes to life with stories to tell. In the unique architectural setting of a classical mansion in the historic Old town of Corfu, the everyday life of the island's 19th century nobility is recreated. Through animated figures, using robotic technology, and the perfect reproduction of decor and furnishing, Casa Parlante promises to deliver you a true insight into bygone Corfu. Awakening all your senses, the traditions of the island unfold in front of you, depicting family life in an authentic experience of sights, sounds and smells. Before your eyes the house will come to life... Listen to the children of the family playing music, smell the aromas of the cook's virtuosic cuisine, read the headlines of the Count's newspaper... Casa Parlante is a unique museum: it brings history to life and lets the visitor breathe it in.

Interesting, small, local history museum. Interior in good shape as well as furnitures and objects. Museum uses motorized dummies to animate history. They are not robots, only the head or arm is moving back and forth. The museum tour is always led by the guide. There is possibility to ask questions, which is absolutely nice. This is a little gem of Cofu Town..the price is 5 euro each, and you also receive a glass of rose liqueur and a guided tour of 19th century living...You will enjoy this museum. It's something different from others, it has its uniqueness.

Corfu Donkey Rescue

Hope was our first rescue in January 2004, Dusty the second. Since then over 450 donkeys have been taken into our refuge here in Corfu. As a refuge we aim to give: the old a safe and happy retirement; the sick a chance of cure; the injured the chance of recovery; the abused the chance of regaining trust and hope and the abandoned the feeling of security again. Take a look on our website for more information, pictures and a detailed map.You are very welcome to visit us, see the work we do and experience the calm company of our donkeys.
